The pigmentspherules composing the cup (eyes) are the smallest that I have studied. Stylet: This tubular structure presents the figure of a long funnel with a widened crenate base and a slightly expanded termination. The opening is terminal. This species possesses a unique sperm-cell. This singular cell measures 36 micro in length and is equipped with the characteristic pair of anterior setae, a very thin feeler, and a tail region which bears a pair of lateral undulating flanges, in which region the chromatin granules are located.
