Description of Gordius attoni sp.n. (Nematomorpha, Gordiidae) from Northern Canada
Gordius attoni sp.n. (Nematomorpha, Gordiidae) is described using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and conventional methods. The presence of white spots, the postcloacal crescent on the male caudal end, and the shallow interareolar furrows devoid of pores and bristles as seen in SEM are characte...
