Die Augen sind sehr schwach entwickelt, bei oberflächlicher Beobachtung erscheint das Tier sogar völlig augenlos. Die Pigmentbecher setzen sich aus sehr wenigen (3-7) schwach rötlichen Pigmentkörnchen zusammen. Die geringe Entwicklung des Augenpigments ist offenbar eine Reduktionserscheinung im Zusammenhang mit der Besiedlung des lichtabgeschlossenen Küstengrundwassers. Die Wandungen des Stiletts bilden am distalen Ende eine kugelförmige Anschwellung aus. p. 482
