Figures 6-10. Preadult and adult of Lobatostoma jungwirthi. 6. Frontal view of the preadult showing<br />
the 5 oral lobules. 7. Posterior surface of the oral lobules showing monociliate papillae (arrow) and domeshaped<br />
papillae arranged without defined pattern. 8. Neck region (ventral) with pores (white arrow) (in<br />
some cases with secretion) and dome-shaped papillae. 9. General ventral view of the adult. A clear differentiation<br />
of the longitudinal septum of the ventral adhesive disc cannot be observed. 10. Anterior end<br />
of the ventral adhesive disc showing dome-shaped and monociliate papillae (arrow) on the edge of the<br />
walls. Scales: 6 = 50 u,m; 7, 8 = 10 u,m; 9 = 25 u,m; 10 = 100 u,m.<br />
also were distributed on the borders between the<br />
alveoli of the adhesive disc of both juvenile and<br />
adult worms. Nonciliate sensory receptors were<br />
found by Rohde and Watson (1990b) in the external<br />
ventral tegument of the ventral suckerlets<br />
in M. purvisi. This structure may correspond to<br />
the nonciliate disc-shaped receptors or to the<br />

nonciliate type with a long root described by<br />
Rohde and Watson (1992) in the larva of L.<br />
manteri. Nonciliate tegumental receptors were<br />
also found in the juvenile of Astramphilina elongata<br />
Johnston, 1931 (Monogenea) (Rohde and<br />
Watson, 1990a).<br />
