Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Schmidt (1986) listed C. appendiculatus as valid species but species name (as Archigetes and Biacetabulum) appeared as synonyms of Archigetes sieboldi on p. 30. Fig. 4 in Ratzel does not correspond to Archigetes but the worm was sexually mature. According to Šrámek (1901; p. 114), it is a Syn. of C. mutabilis (= C. laticeps) (as larva on Fig. 4 looks like).
