Its unusually thin-walled alimentary canal should be adaptive for mucus feeding since mechanical breakdown of particles would be a minimal requisite. It possesses a leech-like morphology that presumably facilitates attachment to the host's body. The broad, ventrically oriented mouth armed with numerous minute teeth may function as a sucker in addition to its primary role as a mucus scraper (Ref. 36962). Winemiller, K.O. and H.Y.
