This polycystid rhabdocoel (originally erroneously considered to be Poly-cystus goettei) is intermediate
between Acrorhynchus and Polycystis, having a seminal vesicle and a granule vesicle opening into the male
canal but not surrounded by a common muscular mantle, and having a stylette inside the male genital canal; a
seminal receptacle is present attached to the common [female] duct.
