Original description (in German) : " Likewise a Pleurocaulier 

 with the highest degree of development of the penis (in conse- 

 quence of protracted isolation in mountains?). This organ has 

 the aspect of the head and neck of a cock with a very large comb, 

 the orifice being in the bill ; the comb, ringed with deep polygonal 

 honey-combs, forms the glans. Dart glands, intestines, salivary 

 glands, etc., similar. Papillae of the dart glands simple, shortly 

 conical. Tentacles more or less prominent." (Simroth.)

 this species has been published.
