Image of Micropodarke Okuda 1938

Description:

This ventral view of the head shows the open mouth in the peristomium. The pharynx is inside the mouth. This species has no teeth on its pharynx, although this would not be visible unless the animal everted its pharynx. The two prostomial antennae can also be seen. The larger, 2-segmented palps are extending from the prostomium directly toward the viewer. This view of the head (top right) and pygidium (left) shows that the pygidium has two long projecting cirri.
