Pseudaphanostoma herringi Notes


Hooge M.D. & Rocha C.E.F. 2006 (citation) - p. 35, "Of the seven currently known species of the genus 
Pseudaphanostoma, our species is similar to P. divae Marcus, 1952 in having an unpaired testis positioned 
immediately behind an unpaired ovary; all other described species have paired ovaries and testes. P. divae 
differs from our species in having a longer (~1.3 mm), more filiform body that is without extensive chordoid 
tissue, a shorter penis (~55 µm long), an antrum lacking glands, and conspicuous caudal glands. "
