| Popis: | Batracobdelloides moogi, the species representing the afroasiatic genus, is very poorly known for its biology and anatomy. This species was described on the basis of a small group of samples from south-western Europe. This study presents a morphological analysis and description of the structure of the alimentary tract and reproductive system. Biometry and external morphology were analyzed on 96 individuals and the anatomic structure on 40 individuals. The average length of the examinated specimens was 9.81 mm and the average weight was 0.056 g. The length of proboscis ranged from 2.5 to 4 neurosomites. Lengths of each ovary ranged from 1.5 to 3.5 neurosomites. Lengths of left and right sperm ducts ranged from 0.5 to 2.5 neurosomites. Correlation between the length of sperm ducts and their coiling was recorded. |
