Description

As in other genera of the family Dendrocoelidae, species of Bdellocephala have an anterior adhesive organ. However, differently from other dendrocoelids, species of Bdellocephala lack a well-developed penis papilla in the male copulatory apparatus, which is uncommon in freshwater planarians.[3]

gollark: Hosqol is confusing. I mean, I know the syntax and basics of monady stuff and all that, and have made a simple web app, but have no idea what else to do and learn.
gollark: Really? Does God ever bother to *fix* these stubs here?
gollark: Y'es.
gollark: It's more of a wejustthrewineverycoolfeature-oriented language.
