Macrostomum gilberti Fig 8-12.jpg

Edited by nadja.cereghetti on 21. November 2008 - 14:40

The penis-stilette in this Macrostomum is almost straight and is terminally curved in weakly pressed specimens. There are two flanges in the curved termination, the one on the convexity of the curve being longer than the one on the concavity of the curve. Thus, it appears, that this stilette, in which four lateroterminal borders may be seen, is cut in bias. p. 193/194
