No sensilla observed on anterior part of cephalic region.
1st pedigerous thoracic somite and cephalon fused.
Urosome consisting of 4 somites: 5th pedigerous with no appendages, genital somite (genital complex) and 2 free somites (the last is the anal somite).
Anal somite being the largest of the urosome, representing almost 40% of the urosome.

Nota: Anterior region of head between antennular bases and oral papilla with one pair of horn-like processes (arrowed in fig.27).
A1 length of lectotype close to 27% of total body length, 67% as long as cephalothorax.

P5 absent from 5th pedigerous somite.
Genital complex represented by cylindrical structure, moderately elongated in lateral view. Pair of relatively long subterminal digitiform genital lappets present on distal 1/3 of genital structure, both appearing elongated, strongly divergent, distally mammiliform; lappets reaching half way of preanal somite (fig.20). Rounded process present at common basal joint of lappets.

Rem.: For Suarez-Morales (2007 a, p.32) several differences are apparent between the japanese specimens and C. bullatum. All these differences indicate that the japanese's specimens belong to a different, probably undescribed species of Cymbasoma.
After Suarez-Morales (2010, p.66), the female of M. leucopsis from the Philippines (Wilson, 1950 at the Caldera Bay anchorage is (after inspection of the specimen) a male assignable to Cymbasoma bullatum. The mediterranean records of this species cannot be verified (Rose, 1933; Isaac, 1975: as M. conjunctiva; Djordjevic, 1963).
