Obama maculatentis is a species of land planarian belonging to the subfamily Geoplaninae.
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.
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.
[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.
[2] Obama maculatentis is only known from the type locality, in the Punta Lara natural reserve in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
