Tribothrynobdella andicola

External morphology

Along the ventral midline of the genital region, three orifices open into successive interannular grooves: a male gonopore, a female gonopore, and a third, larger orifice, separated from one another by a single annulus. The latter two orifices lead into a spacious female bursa, into which the oviducts discharge. Complete somite: 3-annulate.
