Amphiscolops potocani Diagnosis
Amphiscolops with three lobes at the terminal end. The male gonopore lies subterminal and leads to a ciliated penis, which is invaginated into a dense plug of tissue and muscles. The T-shaped vagina opens to a pair of seminal bursae, which have one bursal nozzle each. Setting the total body length to 100 units (100 U), the distances from the anterior tip of the body for major features are as follows: statocyst at 13 U, mouth at 63 U, female gonopore at 77 U, male gonopore at 93 U.
