AbstractInArmina maculatathe heart lies anteriorly and has a large muscular ventricle and a delicate auricle running obliquely to the antero‐posterior axis. The auriculoventricular valve and the aortic valve are disposed at the anterior end of the auricle and ventricle respectively. The aortic trunk is located just anterior to the ventricle and gives off several arteries, which extend through the whole body. The main arteries are: the cephalic artery (to the buccal apparatus); the posterior artery (to the notum, digestive glands, ovotestis and renal chamber); the pedal artery (to the foot); and the genital arteries (supplying the different organs of the reproductive system). These data are compared with those of other arminacean specie
