Cura foremanii is a species of freshwater planarian belonging to the family Dugesiidae.[1][2] It is found in freshwater habitats within North America.

Etymology

The specific epithet was given in honor of Edward R. Foreman.[3]

Description

Cura foremanii is about 7–15 millimeters in length, and has a flat, oblong, broad, thick, oval-like shape. Its head is in the shape of a broad triangle with a blunt point. It has unpigmented circular dash-like regions on the side of its auricles; but its general body color ranges from dark brown or gray to black. Its underside is pale, but retains the same hue as its backside.[3][4] It has two eyes; the eyes are a light grey or white with black pigment forming a "pupil".[5]
