(1) Sub-order : Distomea. Trematodes with at most two suckers, without hooks. They develop with a complicated alternation of generations. The asexual individuals and the larvse live principally in Mollusca, the sexually mature animals in the alimentary canal of Vertebrates. The sexes are completely separated in Distomum hcematobiicm (from the veins of man); individuals of the two sexes being united in pairs (fig. 257). Dimorphic forms are found in certain species of the genera Monostomum and Distomum in connection with the division of labour of the sexual functions; one individual develops only male sexual organs, and the other only female, the former producing spermatozoa and the latter ova. The rudiment of the functionless generative gland undergoes in these cases a more or less complete degeneration. Such Distomea are morphologically hermaphrodite, but practically of separate sexes.
