Syringolaimus striatocaudatus de Man, 1888

De Man, 1888: p. 35–36, pl. III, IV, figs 16–16c (North Sea, the Netherlands, Walcheren, male and female). De Coninck, 1932: p. 17–20, figs 7–9 (North Sea, West Flanders, males and females). De Coninck & Schuurmans Stekhoven, 1933: p. 58, fig. 28–29 (Belgian coast, on Enteromorpha , one male and one juvenile). Hopper, 1969: p. 673–674, figs 7–10. Nova Scotia, East Canada, marsh grass). Ventral gland cell present but ventral pore is not always observed. Spinneret and caudal glands are evident. Midventral precloacal papilla is indicated in some descriptions. Hopper (1969) found a small lateral pore (“phasma”) at posterior end of conoid portion of the tail. Body size varies considerably in different descriptions. A complete set of morphometric data is provided only by Hopper (1969). The most obvious distinguishing character is prominent annulation of the tail cuticle while other body cuticle looks smooth.
