Characteristics

Members of the family are characterised by having extensive vitelline (yolk producing) follicles, eye-spot pigment dispersed in the front half of the body, a rod-shaped excretory vesicle, no cirrus-sac and the genital pore just in front of the ventral sucker or occasionally just behind it.[1]

Genera

The World Register of Marine Species lists the following genera:[2]

gollark: "Text" isn't a format.
gollark: Shell scripts are an awful way for programs to interact, and complex systems are a lot harder to implement if you have to shove your data through awful interfaces.
gollark: <@!202992030685724675> No.
gollark: What of it?
gollark: It's 30KB even in a wildly inefficient text format, so with a sensible 2 bit per nucleotide encoding it's 8ish.
