“We based our morphological analysis on 286 individuals belonging to 14 valid species of Ligophorus for which original drawings of anchors were available: Ligophorus acuminatus Euzet & Suriano, 1977; Ligophorus cephali Rubtsova et al., 2006; Ligophorus chabaudi Euzet & Suriano, 1977; Ligophorus confusus Euzet & Suriano, 1977; Ligophorus heteronchus Euzet & Suriano, 1977; Ligophorus imitans Euzet & Suriano, 1977; Ligophorus macrocolpos Euzet & Suriano 1977; Ligophorus mediterraneus Sarabeev et al., 2005; Ligophorus minimus Euzet & Suriano, 1977; Ligophorus szidati Euzet & Suriano, 1977; Ligophorus vanbenedenii Euzet & Suriano, 1977; Ligophorus llewellyni; Ligophorus pilengas, and Ligophorus angustus Euzet & Suriano, 1977. The sample size for each species was 20 individuals for ventral and 20 individuals for dorsal anchors (not always matching specimens of the previous group), except in L. angustus (four ventral and two dorsal anchors). In all, 526 anchors were studied of which, in 238 instances, represented ventral and dorsal anchors of the same worm individual”.
