Dear Atsushi,
Thank you so much for these 2 excellent photos of Cyerce and Sohgenia. There is one additionally feature, which shows clearly on these pictures, and which I cannot remember whether Hamatani commented on in his description of Sohgenia. The digestive gland in Cyerce is a solid mass, as in the shelled sacoglossans, whereas you can easily distinguish a network of fine tubules through the skin of the foot in Sohgenia.

Thanks again - this really adds to the number of characters separating the genus Sohgenia.
