Observations on Fonticola velata (Stringer), including a description of the anatomy of the reproductive system.
Trans Microsc Soc 53:154-171

Abstract / Notes

A study of the reproductive system of Planaria velata 1909 shows that this sp. agrees with the definition of
the genus Fonticola and the name is therefore changed to Fonticola velata (Stringer), n. comb. (p.156). The
sp. appears to be distributed throughout the north-central United States.
