Family Latocestidae Laidlaw, 1903 View in CoL
Genus Eulatocestus Faubel, 1983 View in CoL
Eulatocestus Faubel, 1983: 64 View in CoL , fig. 14.
Diagnosis (after Faubel 1983, emended): Latocestidae with cerebro-frontal eyes scattered in a fan-like pattern. Ruffled pharynx located in the most posterior part of the body. Separate gonopores. Male copulatory apparatus without seminal vesicle but spermiducal bulbs present; penis papilla-like and unarmed. Prostatic vesicle with thick glandular layer consisting of a web of follicles. Female apparatus simple with either Lang’s vesicle or without Lang’s vesicle and ductus vaginalis.
Type species: Eulatocestus pacificus (Laidlaw, 1903) View in CoL .
Remarks: The original description of the genus by Faubel (1983) indicates the presence of a Lang’s vesicle, however, the diagnosis is emended to include the possible presence of a ductus vaginalis.
