Taxonomic remark Therefore, we consider K. mochimae regarded as incertae sedis. Kannaphallus mochimae is morphologically similar to Probursata species (Heteraxinidae: Heteraxininae) reported from the Western Atlantic, and Probursata species also possesses two vaginae (Bravo-Hollis, 1984; Takemoto et al., 1993). However, K. mochimae lacks two features of Probursata: the accessory sclerite of the clamp and the muscular auricular expansions of the genital atrium (Bravo-Hollis, 1984;
Takemoto et al., 1993; Fuentes Zambrano, 1998). [details]
