Girardia multidiverticulata

Girardia multidiverticulata is a cave-dwelling freshwater planarian from Brazil.

Description
Specimens of G. multidiverticulata are about 20 mm in length. The head is very triangular and has two small and pointed auricles. The whole animal is white, lacking pigmentation, and has no eyes, which are adaptations to its life in caves.

Distribution
Girardia multidiverticulata is only known to occur in a small lake of about 10 m2 located inside the limestone cave Buraco do Bicho, in the Bodoquena Plateau, close to the Serra da Bodoquena National Park in the Cerrado biome, Brazil.
