Balanotaenia bancrofti, n.ge. et sp. 9. Posterior end, showing anatomy, viewed ventrally and slightly obliquely: shell gland, vitelline duct, oviduct and also the testes and vitellaria in the vicinity of uterus and cirrus sac are omitted. 10. Lateral views of posterior region, examined in clove oil; showing partly extruded cirrus; outline of ovary and position of commencement of oviduct indicated by broken lines: position of shell gland marked by dots surrounding a shaded area: the thick walls and sinous lumen of the uterus are indicated. Most of the vitellaria have been omitted. 11. Posterior end of a specimen examined in clove oil: cirrus and sac almost fully extended. Lateral view. 12.
