Mellita grantii (oral surface)
Description Oral surface of Mellita grantii. The stippled areas indicate the depressions of the pressure drainage channels and their tributaries. The solid lines mark the food grooves. The outline is round. All lunules are rather short, especially the anal lunule. The food grooves are not much diverging, the pressure drainage channels poorly developed.
