Description
Dugesia annandalei has a broad, round head with a very slight narrowing as a "neck". The back end is rounded. It's about six millimeters long and 1.5 mm wide. The backside is a buffed brown that darkens near the middle across the body, from the eyes to the back end. The underside is paler in color. There are two eyes, crescent-like in shape, each surrounded by an unpigmented oval. There is an auricle on each side of the head, which appears as a colorless streak.[2]
