Remarks.—The scalpel-like spine arising from the dorsal margin of 
the sacculus and the character of the outer cluster of spinules are 
diagnostic for the males of conisphoralis, and the midventral configura- 
tion of the eighth sternum, in combination with the short, broad 
sclerotization of the ductus bursae between the ostium and origin of 
the ductus seminalis, distinguish the females of conisphoralis from 
all others in the genus.
