Fig. 2

SEM micrographs of the surface topography of the anterior region of the body of Crepidostomum oschmarini. a Ventral view of mature worm. b The constant pattern of 5 papillae on the posterior rim of the oral sucker, 3 symmetrical pairs of papillae in the middle of the anterior rim (white circle) and a group of 8 papillae underneath the sucker rim (black circle). c 3 paired symmetrical papillae (white circle) and the distribution of irregular papillae on the anterior rim. d Interlobular field with marked (white circle) of 6 symmetrical papillae, irregular papillate and non-papillate sensory endings and single papilla on each ventro-lateral lobe (black circles). e Regular pattern of different sizes of the posteriormost, middle and anteriormost pairs of 6 symmetrical papillae on anterior rim. f Regular arrangement of 8 papillae ventro-lateral to the posterior sucker rim (black circle). g Single papilla (black circle) on the surface of a ventro-lateral lobe. h Papillae close to the base of a dorso-lateral lobe. i Ciliated papillate and non-papillate sensory endings on interlobular field. j Ciliated papilla.
