Duplorbidae HOEG & RYBAKOV 1992

Description

FAMILY DUPLORBIDAE HØEG & RYBAKOV, 1992

Type genus: Duplorbis Smith, 1906.

Type species: Duplorbis calathurae Smith, 1906.

Diagnosis (amended): The cyprids have long and thick frontal filaments. Additional characters are externae with a mesenteric canal, as in chthamalophilids but lacking the double cuticle and refringent appearance of this family. The male organs are spermatogenic islets that originate as in the Chthamalophilidae, but they continue to be sheathed in a cuticle that continues to increase in thickness, and spermatogenesis proceeds without any formation of secondary islets (Mourey, 1974; Høeg & Rybakov, 1992).
