Description

The original description of Pseudartiocotylus states that the worm has a relatively short strap-like body and that there is a watch glass-like sense organ between the eyes, as well as two ambulacral pits on the ventral side of the anterior end. This description, however, is too incomplete to correctly define the genus and further studies are needed.^[2]
