Luteostriata
''Luteostriata'' is a genus of land planarians from Brazil characterized by a yellow body with dark longitudinal stripes. Description The genus ''Luteostriata'' is characterized by the presence of a cephalic retractor muscle, which allows those animals to pull their anterior end upwards and backwards. Associated to the muscle are cephalic glands, forming a so-called cephalic musculo-glandular organ in a way similar to the one found in the genera ''Choeradoplana'' and '' Issoca''. The copulatory apparatus has an reversible penis, i.e., there is no permanent penis papilla and the penis is formed during copulation by folds in the male cavity which are pushed outwards. Externally, species in this genus usually have a yellow to light brown dorsal color with a series of longitudinal dark stripes, hence the name ''Luteostriata'', from Latin ''luteus'' (saffron yellow) + ''striatus'' (striped). The anterior end is also usually marked by an orange tinge that posteriorly gradually fades ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
