Abstract
The ultrastructure of three types of presumptive sensory receptors is described in the juvenile amphilinidAustramphilina elongata infecting the freshwater crayfishCherax destructor: a non-ciliate tegumental receptor, a ciliate tegumental receptor, and a non-ciliate receptor with two basal bodies. All receptors have electron-dense collars; they differ strongly from all receptors described in free larvae and young, developing juveniles of this species.
