Summary

Description
English: Free-swimming Larva (Müller's Larva) of a Polyclad Planarian to illustrate the trochosphere-hypothesis of the origin of Platyelmia. The larva is seen in optical section, and its distinguishing feature is the ciliated lobed band (vl, sl, dl), which corresponds to the pre-oral ciliated band of a trochosphere-larva. It is here drawn out into eight processes, of which six are shown, their continuity being expressed by the dotted line. See legend below.
