Description
Cephaloflexa araucariana is a small to medium-sized land planarian up to 45 mm (1.8 in) in length when crawling. The dorsum is bluish-gray with two lateral black bands. The venter is dark gray, becoming black near the margins. The anterior end is narrow and rolled upwards by a retractor muscle.[1]
The numerous eyes are distributed marginally along the whole body, except for the apex of the anterior end, where they are absent.[1]
Distribution
The only known place of occurrence of C. araucariana is the São Francisco de Paula National Forest in southern Brazil.[2]
gollark: If you thingy DNS they can still monitor what you do through deep packet inspection and looking at SNI, theoretically.
gollark: You can probably fiddle with window names somehow.
gollark: Solution: destroy time, make Minoteaur.
gollark: Bad.
gollark: Well, due to bea pio ids, the output from listing should be the same as the thing you give to the add command.
