Structure de la radula .

The buccal mass is large and muscular. At the anterior end of the muscular region is a thin, chitinous labial cuticle. The labial cuticle contains irregularly tipped jaw rodlets (Figs.A–B).

A : Labial rods	B : Labial rods, closed up

The innermost lateral radula teeth are hamate (Fig C)

The middle radula teeth have a more elongate cusp (Figs D-E)

The outer lateral radula teeth have small denticles and the two or three penultimate lateral teeth are much shorter than the others.
