Hyman (1943) described Dolichoplana striata Moseley. "Length up to 120mm. Form very elongated and flattened. Ground color yellowish brown with 6 longitudinal dark stripes, paired median, lateral, and marginal. Median stripes are very narrow and may be absent in young specimens. Lateral stripes are very conspicuous, black, sharply defined, beginning at level of eyes and continuing to posterior tip. Marginal stripes are less dark, diffuse, ill defined, fading away posteriorly. Creeping sole white, bordered on each side by diffuse pigmentation."
Bipalium kewense is recognized by its pale color, dorsal dark median line, dark patch in neck region, and expanded lunate head. This species may attain lengths up to 30 cm. (Chandler 1974).
BTW, have you taken any of those to your vet's lab for examination? That might be an option.
Came across this info too:
http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-489506/rag-worm
any of a group of mostly marine or shore worms of the class Polychaeta (phylum Annelida). A few species live in fresh water. Other common names include mussel worm, pileworm, and sandworm. Rag worms vary in length from 2.5 to 90 cm (1 inch to 3 feet); they are commonly brown, bright red, or bright green. Rag worms are perhaps the most highly developed of the annelids.

The giant kidney worm, Dioctophyma renale, most commonly lives in mink. Rarely dogs, cats, fox, and other carnivores may be infected. There are rare reports of D. renale infecting humans. D. renale is found throughout the United States.
A D. renale infection is most commonly found on a post mortem examination. Occasionally, the worm may be found during abdominal surgery for some other condition. Imagine the look on the veterinarian’s face upon finding a 3-foot long worm during a 'routine' spay!
D. renale is quite selective. It is almost always found in the right kidney.
(Although these are typically found in the kidney, who’s to say that they can’t be in the gut too.)
Now that you've taught me how to make the pictures a better size for viewing, let me see what this one looks like in a decent size.
The one that would have been the best one for a picture, I wasn't in the mood at the time, I, quite frankly, was disgusted at continuing to see them, and layed it out and looked at it, thought about taking a picture, and flushed it. Darn it. It clearly showed the flat head better. I was thinking some kind of non-segmented tape worm.
I'm glad you know what I'm talking about when I say that it's an immediate reaction when I look at pictures of these things--these pictures you posted definetly brought on the contracted feeling in the spots I know the worms are still at- they know, I swear there is a reaction from the darned things when I view pictures. I think that's how I will ever know if I'm free of them...if I can view pictures and not have a reaction (?) I can hope. I don't think it's my phobia as much as it is theirs..like they've been "discovered" or something, ratted out.
I'll keep trying to get it....give me some time.
