Marcus E 1948 (citation) pg. 188: 'Convoluta vexillaria, n. sp. (Fig. 4-7), from Santos, has a yellow colour concentrated in the frontal glands and a bluish-green colour localized in all tissues of the posterior part. Sensory cells, as first described for Childia by Luther, occur (Fig. 6, s). The brain and its nerves correspond to Westblad's recent de4scription for C. convoluta and C. flavibacillum. The worms are only slightly flattened and do not curl their ventro-lateral portions. A marginal muscle is not developed. Only the young swim free, but also the adult onew glide rapidly; they do not leap. The gonopore leads to a ciliated atrium, into which the male organ opens from behind, the vagina to the front. The penis (ejaculatory duct) is directed forward and is invaginated into a muscular bulb. The nozzle (mouth-piece) of the bursa seminalis is long (up to 0,025 mm.), has the shape of a carrot and opens into a ventro-median vacuole of the post-ovarian parenchyma. One or several full-grown ovocytes unite the two ovaries. Adenodactyli do not occur. No other species of Convoluta combines these characters.'
