Reference material. 2 whole mounts, including the neotype ( SMNH Neotype 2817, SMNH 82469 ) . Known distribution . Île Calseraigne, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur , France ( Brunet 1968 ). Remarks . Our observations correspond to those of Brunet (1968) . The total body length comprises 0.8 to 1 mm . The proboscis is armed with a pair of 14–16-µm-long proboscis hooks and bears a pair of soft sidepieces, each carrying three small bristles. At the base of the muscular hook supports, a small, sclerotised piece forms the attachment point for the two muscular bulbs. A single, bilobed testis is positioned ventrally alongside the pharynx. Seminal vesicles are paired. The copulatory bulb measures ~55 μm in cross-section and contains a small, spherical prostatic vesicle. The tubular cirrus is 29 μm long, thinly sclerotised and armed with very fine spines. The bursa lies adjacent to the ovary.
