Obama maculatentis is a species of land planarian belonging to the subfamily Geoplaninae.[1] It is found within Argentina.
Obama maculatentis has an elongate body with parallel margins that can reach up to 50 mm in length; the front tip of the body is rounded, while the back is pointed. The dorsum is a black-olive color that pales at the cephalic region. Along the dorsum are two irregular rows of black spots; these spots are generally not very visible to the naked eye, usually only able to be seen in flash photography or following artificial preservation of a specimen. The ventral side of the body is light grey.[2]
The specific epithet is derived from the Latin words macula and latentis, literally meaning "hidden spots"; this is in reference to the species' dorsal spots that are not usually visible at first glance.
Obama maculatentis is only known from the type locality, in the Punta Lara natural reserve in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
