[1] Luteostriata abundans is a small to medium-sized land planarian with an elongate body and parallel margins.

They are distributed marginally on the first millimeters of the body and posteriorly become dorsal, covering the two most external stripes on each side.

The eyes that cover the stripes are surrounded by halos, zones without pigmentation, which may be perceived as small clear dots.

[1][3] In the laboratory, the diet of L. abundans includes exclusively woodlice, which seem to constitute the main or only prey of most species in the genus Luteostriata.

The planarian then glides over the prey to bring it to the level of the mouth and everts the pharynx, piercing the woodlouse between its segments and beginning the ingestion of its contents.
