Remarks

Euprosthiostomum adhaerens , established by Bock (1925), is characterized by an elongated body, marginal eyes distributed in the anterior region of the body, and the presence of frontal eyes. The male reproductive system features two separate small prostatic vesicles and a seminal vesicle, and an elongated penis papilla armed with a tubular stylet. However, it is suggested to collect topotypic material and thus make a detailed description of the species.
