Image of Schizobranchia Bush 1905

Description:

This dorsal view of the head shows the groove for fecal material, which runs on the dorsal side at the anterior end (thorax) of the animal. The white flecks are material which has already moved up the groove. A few white flecks can be seen in the groove, and these are moving steadily toward the head. The long notosetae are visible, the head flaps can be clearly seen at the base of the radioles, and dark eyespots can be seen on the shaft of at least one radiole.
