Each colony is a single system of zooids with a central common opening. All zooids have gonads but at different stages of development in a single colony (

D). The rectum runs vertically. There is one gonad on each side. On the left side the testis in several round vesicles is located anterior to the gut loop; the right one is symmetrical. The ovary when present contains 1 to 3 large oocytes anterior to the testis. The testis is reduced when tadpoles are present in the atrial cavity (
