FIGURE 7. Ventral view of the posterior body region of a male Gordionus wolterstorffii from the Faroe Islands. (A) Ventral view of the posterior end with posterior lobes, cloaca (Cl), bristle fields (bf), and post-cloacal spines (pcs). Scale bar = 200 µm. (B) Cloacal opening surrounded by circumcloacal spines (arrow). Scale bar = 25 µm. (C) Lateral view of bristle field (bf) showing branched apices on terminal ends of bristles. Scale bar = 25 µm. (D) Interior lateral side of a posterior lobe showing postcloacal spines on the terminal ends of the tail lobe. Note the micropores insert. Scale bar = 20 µm. (E) Distinct areoles on the posterior end, with bristles. Scale bar = 25 µm. (F) Close-up of an indistinct areole with pores (po) and micropores (mp) and a single tubercle (t). Scale bar 5 µm. : Published as part of Anaya, Christina, Galbreath, Kurt E. & Bolek, Matthew G., 2021, Morphological and molecular characterization of adult hairworms (Phylum Nematomorpha) from Iceland and the Faroe Islands, and documentation of their non-adult stages and hosts, pp. 234-256 in Zootaxa 4927 (2) on page 246, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4927.2.4, http://zenodo.org/record/4537047
