Narrow anteriorly but considerably dilated and sac-like posteriorly. Ciliated funnels minute, stalked, sparsely distributed oversurface of both vesicles. Gonoducts. Gonoducts two pairs (Fig. 9B), posterior to ventral setae, oval injuvenile specimen but elongate, tubular and considerably distended in sexuallymature individual due to presence of numerous ova. Gonostomal lips thin,spirally coiled; gonostomal openings basal in position. Blood system. Intestinal ring sinus is an incomplete vascular ring at posteriorend of foregut (Fig. 10).

Anterior part of the trunk cavity,showing the blood vessels. 50 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM Remarks Ochetostoma formosulum (Lampert, 1883) was described from a singlespecimen from Manila, Philippines.

The most important distinguishing features of O. formosulum are thepresence of two pairs of postsetal gonoducts with spirally coiled gonostomal lips,a very thin and transparent integument, 6-8 longitudinal muscle bands and aninterbasal muscle that passes through a loop of the neuro-intestinal vessel. Othertaxonomic features include the proboscis which is less than one-quarter of thetrunk length, the frilled lateral margins of the proboscis, and th
