Obama apiguara is a species of land planarian belonging to the subfamily Geoplaninae.[1] It is found within Brazil.
Obama apiguara is around 56 mm in length and 8 mm in width. The body is broad and flattened, with nearly parallel margins; the anterior end is pointed, and the posterior end is obtuse. The dorsum is a dark ivory color, with several black spots that form multiple striae. Both extremities of the body are black. The ventral side is a pastel yellow color, turning whitish in the area of the pharynx and copulatory apparatus. Both extremities of the ventral side are brown.[2]
There is a glandular fossae opening through the epidermis. The penis papilla is provided with a small, intra-papillar, finger-like papilla. The species lacks a common glandular ovovitelline duct.[2]
