Abstract / Notes

"From the coasts of central, east and south Hokkaido 2 new Coelogynoporids, i.e., C. coniuncta sp. nov. and C.
birostrata sp. nov. are reported. On the basis of the organization of the reproductive organs these species
belong in the genus Coelogynopora Steinboeck, although some small, but important, differences in the
structural features of the bursal organ remain. From periodic live observations of the seminal vesicles, the
linkage of their ends can be traced to a difference in the developmental process (in C. coniuncta). The
phylogeny, compared with the hitherto known Coelogynopora spp., is described as apomorphous."
