(a)–(f) Scanning electron micrographs of Avitellina centripunctata. (a) General anterior view of scolex, arrows show invaginated suckers. (b) Invaginated sucker, arrow showing triangular opening. (c) Peripheral sucker, arrows show acicular and capilliform filitriches (Scale bar, 10 μm). (d) Acicular and capilliform filitriches covering sucker (scale bar, 1 μm). (e) Portion of strobila showing acraspedote proglottids. (f) Lateral portion of strobila, arrows show genital pores (Scale bar, 10 μm). Scale bar = 100 μm, unless stated otherwise.
