These specimens (USNPC 039570.00, 039571.00) appear to be contracted, but have moderately long ceca, and a genital pore that is prebifurcal and submedian, placing them in the monas body type. The posterior extent of the vitelline fields terminate near to, or surpass the cecal ends posteriorly; the gonads overlap the area of the ventral sucker; the body is oval, widest near midbody; the genital pore is located near the posterior margin of the pharynx (based on the original description); the ceca are moderately long, terminating near midlevel of postovarian space and occupying 24–32% of postovarian space; and the maximum egg size is 38 by 24, placing it in

are coated with a layer of small bubbles and appear to be contracted, which has moved the cecal bifurcation anterior towards the oral sucker giving the impression that there is no esophagus, and that the genital pore has been displaced slightly anterior giving the impression that it opens slightly more anterior than would be its normal placement. The “membrane” covering the opening to the oral sucker “with a longitudinal median slit” previously reported for this species was not evident in these specimens; however, the mouth of the oral sucker is rotated anteriorly so that the mouth appears to be almost terminal.
