Title: | Hard parts in the female system of Syndesmis-longicanalis (Platyhelminthes, Rhabdocoela, Umagillidae) are basement-membrane derivatives | Authors: | GEVAERTS, Hugo MOENS, Jos Martens, E.E. SCHOCKAERT, Ernest |
Issue Date: | 1995 | Publisher: | AMER MICROSCOPICAL SOC | Source: | INVERTEBRATE BIOLOGY, 114(4). p. 279-284 | Abstract: | Data are presented on the ultrastructure of the sclerotised parts in the female system of the symbiotic turbellarian (Platyhelminthes) Syndesmis longicanalis. The bursal canal, insemination canal, and bursal valve are basement membrane derivatives. These structures are compared with hard parts derived from basement membrane in other turbellarians. The taxonomic value of the bursal valve in Umagillidae is rejected. | Notes: | UNIV NAIROBI,DEPT ZOOL,NAIROBI,KENYA.GEVAERTS, H, LIMBURGS UNIV CENTRUM,DEPT SBG,ZOOL RES GRP,B-3590 DIEPENBEEK,BELGIUM. | Keywords: | SYMBIOTIC TURBELLARIANS; BURSAL VALVE | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/3514 | ISI #: | A1995TJ77400002 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
