Catanema schiemeri View in CoL and C. sp.

The egg-shaped corpus tapers distinctly towards the anterior end in both species. Myofilaments are very densely arranged, with their angles changing gradually throughout the corpus, pointing in a forward direction anterior-most, approximately perpendicular in the centre of the corpus and gradually assuming a posterior direction. The myoepithelium of the corpus bears basally located nuclei that distort the course of the myofilaments ( Table 1; Figs. 4a, 5b View Fig , and 6a, b View Fig ).
