Remarks. According to the original description, the animals are about 0.9 mm long. The head is clearly separated from the rest of the body and resembles a lizard’s or snake’s head. The testes appear as elongated organs, which run from about two-thirds of the body length forward. The copulatory organ has a wide bulbous part and a distinctly cylindrical pouch. The cirrus is a little wider than that of A. conica , and it is lined with sclerotized warts. A single, large prostate gland is located on each side of the copulatory organ, giving the prostate vesicle the appearance of two egg-shaped balls. Bursa, female duct and seminal receptacle have the same general morphology as in A. conica .
