In
present study, total 5 specimens were collected and preserved. In live
condition, the animal was showing bright brownish colour on the dorsal body.
They had a dark brown colour with a whitish long groove having alimentary
canal, and a gonopore on the ventral side. Eye spots were present on the
semilunar head. One white band was present on the rim of the semi-lunar head,
and a narrow neck was also present. There was no other band found on the body.
The entire body was slimy, dorso-ventrally flattened and bilaterally
symmetrical. The biometric measurements were taken as Body length (40-64 mm),
Body Width (4-7mm), Head Breadth (5-6 mm), Neck Breadth (3-4 mm), and distance
between anterior end to Gonopore (26-46 mm). It also differs from all 29
species found in India. In this paper, the author recorded the new species Bipalium
bundelensis for the first time in Jhansi of the Bundelkhand region, Uttar
