Remarks.
In the description, the term “pharyngeal knobs” has been used to denote the pharyngeal pores. This may cause confusion as the term pharyngeal knobs has also been used for the drumstick-like sensorial organs present in
Pleurodasys helgolandicus
. Furthermore, nomenclature and functional role of the accessory reproductive organs as indicated in the original description should be revised in light of the recent literature (e.g., Kieneke & Schmidt-Rhaesa 2015).
