| Comments |
Members of the polyclad genus Anonymus are characterized by
having multiple male reproductive complexes. Each complex consists of a
conical penis papilla and a seminal vesicle enclosed together in a common
muscular bulb. A. kaikourensis has two rows of more than 30 pairs
of male complexes located lateral to the pharyngeal folds. |
