Cheliplana santiaguera
Diez, Reygel & Artois, 2019
Material examined.
None.
Known distribution
. Siboney,
Cuba
(
Diez
et al.
2019
).
Remarks (summarised from literature)
. Specimens are pinkish and are
0.7–0.8mm
long when whole mounted. The proboscis carries 16-µm-long, curved hooks. Hook supports are
6 to 8 µm
long. The pharynx measures
124- 126 µm
, corresponding to 1/8 of the total body length, and connects to the mouth through a twice as long, spiny prepharyngeal cavity.
The copulatory bulb is inverted-pear shaped (
50–74 µm
) and comprises the prostate vesicle and spiny cirrus (
22–28 µm
, spines
0.5 µm
). A sphincter occurs in the middle of the ejaculatory duct.
The vitellarium extends from the pharynx to the copulatory bulb. A single bursa and ovary occur caudally.
Oocytes lie in a row and proximally diminish in diameter. The bursa is connected to the common atrium and opens externally through a vagina, posterior to the common gonopore.
