dc:description"FIGURE 1. Holotype of male Chordodes albibarbatus. (A) Tapering anterior end with a white cap, and no dark collar. Note the white tufts representing crowned areoles. Scale bar = 500 μm. (B) Posterior end. Note the posterior end is round with the indication of two lobes; oval cloaca (arrow). Scale bar = 500 μm. (C) Steriomicroscope, overview of midbody region showing the spotted pattern and distribution of crowned areoles. Scale bar = 750 μm. (D) NICM showing close up of simple “ blackberry ” areoles. Scale bar = 14 μm. (E & F) NICM overview of cuticle showing simple areoles and clusters of bulging areoles (black arrows) and crown areoles surrounded by circumcluster areoles (white arrows). Scale bar = 90 μm.";
