B, C). Rhabditogenic glands are situated in the parenchyma below the cutaneous musculature. There are glands with amorphous erythrophil and scarce cyanophil secretions which discharge through the dorsal epidermis. Ventrally, the epidermis (2535 µm high) is ciliated, forming a wide creeping sole (~90% of body width). In the ventral epidermis, amorphous cyanophil glandular secretion is more abundant that on the dorsal surface and there is scarce amorphous erythropil secretion, with small dermal rhabdites occupying the apex of the epidermal cells. The glandular margin consists of abundant fine granular erythrophil and cyanophil secretions (
