Diagnosis Body-wall musculature with circular, longitudinal, and longitudinal crossover muscle fibers in both the dorsal and ventral body wall, and U-shaped fibers in the ventral body wall. Male copulatory organ invaginated into muscular seminal vesicle, usually a tubular muscular isodiametric penis, often glandular. Penis musculature with inner circular and outer nonanastomosing longitudinal fibers. Never with symbiotic algae. Ocelli, when present, do not contain platelets in the pigment cell. [details]
