Diagnosis Trigonostominae with afferent system differentiated into a bursa and a sclerotized bursal appendage. Bursa usually with slender bursal canal. Bursal appendage very variable, consisting of a funnel-shaped tube, two slender tubes or a combination of both, with or without a sclerotized ring, sometimes partly protruding into the bursa. Sclerotized parts of the male copulatory organ consisting of a proximally curved stylet proper connected to an accessory mantle at its base. Mantle differentiated into one or several pieces, either plates, tubes, or a combination of both. Accessory mantle either partly sheathing the stylet proper or completely separate from it. [details]
