Title A remarkable organism, Telegamatrix pellona gen. et sp. nov. (Monogenea: Diplectaninae) parasitic in an Indian herring
 
Creator Ramalingam, K
 
Subject Invertebrata
 
Description It is seldom that an entirely novel animal is found, but Telegamatrix seems to be a unique example in evolution of what would appear to be an ideal copulatory arrangement for a sedentary hermaphrodite, whether animal or lower plant. Yet no parallel example comes to mind from either kingdom.
Here we have hermaphrodite worms copulating at a distance by means of a tentacle containing two-way ducts
