is characterized by occupying a very distinct saline habitat. It has a low triangularshaped head with hardly discernible auricles; it is pale brown or grey in colour dorsally, and very pale or white ventrally. Ex-fissiparous specimens have a large well-developed penis, which is situated to the left and slightly anterior to the larger adenodactyl which has a well-developed lumen in the distal part. The penis papilla is large and cylindrical and blunt at its tip where it bends ventrally. There is a distinct funnel-shaped diaphragm separating the seminal vesicle and the ejaculatory duct; the opening of the ejaculatory duct is terminal. Chromosome portrait: diploid, 2n = 16.

. Beneath the outer epithelium of the anterior part of the papilla there is a thick layer of circular muscle. This is underlain by a thinner layer of longitudinal/diagonal muscle which surrounds the cyanophilous glandular core. In the central part of the papilla, anterior to the lumen, the longitudinal/diagonal muscle layer becomes thinner and is absent from the muscle coat in the region of the lumen. In the posterior part of the papilla, there is a thin outer layer of circular muscle under which lies the glandular core and in the centre of this is the adenodactyl lumen. The lumen is surrounded by a cuboidal epithelium with insunk nuclei, surrounded by a thin layer of circular muscle. The lumen of the duct is filled with a secretion that is usually cyanophilic but may be eosinophilic or a mixture of both.
