Popis:	The anterior part of the body of some species of filarids bears swellings which are produced either by a large coelomocyte: Mansonella (Tetrapetalonema) , or by a thickened musculature: Cercopithifilaria . These structures form a specialized apparatus which assists the male in holding the female during the copulation.
