corners attached to styles prominent, bearing a large ventral process, 

 slightly concave at the end where it attaches to the oedagus; oedagus 

 composed of a dorsal shorter heavy process for attachment, and a longer

 distal third, a pair of diverging anteriorly directed processes, giving 

 this process an arrow-head appearance. Around the base of the anal 

 tube is a heavy-set U-shaped collar with the arms of the U slightly di- 

 verging.
