Description

Facelina schwobi is described as having the digestive gland in the cerata a brown colour, similar to Facelina bostoniensis (Acanthopsole drummondi) but with bright ruby rings at the base and top. This is similar to the coloration of the digestive gland in Facelina auriculata.

gollark: Me...
gollark: But I suppose that counts as internals, not user-exposed API.
gollark: There are also times when I've had to tweak a bunch of potatOS things because for... kind of weird reasons... it runs its own BIOS code to do sandboxing... and that's been tweaked a lot recently.
gollark: There's stuff on the old CC wiki about some things being "deprecated", i.e. breaking-ly removed.
gollark: Not during you running it, mind.
