Anandroplana is a genus of flatworms belonging to the family Ilyplanidae. [1]
Members of Anandroplana were originally differentiated by Libbie Hyman; species are oval and elongate and shape, and have an encircling band of marginal eyes. The pharynx is long and ruffled, with the muscular male apparatus close behind. There is no seminal vesicle, prostatic vesicle or penis papilla. [2]
Libbie Henrietta Hyman, was an American zoologist. She wrote numerous works on invertebrate zoology and the widely used A Laboratory Manual for Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy.
Pseudocerotidae is a family of flatworms which includes the Bedford's flatworm. Pseudocerotidae are simple organisms categorized by their oval bodies and tentacles and bright colors. They use the cilia to glide along surfaces. Most commonly referred to as marine flatworms, closely related to the orders Macrostomorpha and Lecithoepitheliata. These organisms have very complex reproductive systems, no blood systems or organs for gas exchange, a simple brain and are hermaphroditic.

Male accessory glands (MAG) are the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and the bulbourethral glands. These glands are found only in mammals. In insects, male accessory glands produce products that mix with the sperm to protect and preserve them, including seminal fluid proteins. Some insecticides can induce an increase in the protein content of the male accessory glands of certain types of insects. This has the unintended effect of increasing the number of offspring they produce.
