Material.Two drawings of live animals. One whole mount and three serially-sectioned specimens, two of poor quality and one juvenile.
Remarks.The frontal position of the barrel-shaped, obliquely forward-slanting pharynx, the crenulate posterior end of the body and the separate openings of the protonephridia indicate that this species probably belongs to the taxon Phaenocora Ehrenberg, 1836( Phaenocorinae Wahl, 1910). Since the genital system could not be observed, a definite identification was impossible.
