Description

Family Candimboididae Faubel, 1983

Amended definition. Leptoplanoidea with elongate body and without tentacles. Eyespots in two elongate clusters in region of cerebral organ. Pharynx in middle third of body. Male and female gonopores well separated from posterior margin of the body. Male copulatory apparatus immediately posterior to pharynx. Prostatic vesicle muscular and lined with tall, smooth, glandular epithelium. Penis stylet lying in penis pocket. Female copulatory apparatus having bursa copulatrix [modified from Faubel (1983: 91)].

Remarks. The previous diagnosis of Candimboididae by Faubel (1983: 91) contained “Male and female genital pores approximate …” and “Female complex includes bursa copulatrix and Lang’s vesicle.” To place the new genus in this family, we eliminated the references of (i) the distance between the male and female gonopores and (ii) the presence of the Lang’s vesicle from Faubel’s (1983) definition.

Type genus. Candimboides Prudhoe, 1982.
