This recurved dorsal part of the Ive-pouch, with its dorsal and ventral walls sclerotised 

 by L2, approaches LI and articulates with it (A2 in fig. 11 8, 120, 121). The ventral wall 

 of the Ive-pouch also shows this dorsoventral curvature, but it is in its posterior part 

 additionally invaginated to the right, and the invagination is strengthened by an arm-like 

 extension of L2 (11 in fig. 1 18, 122, 123). The posterior end of this L2-extension is, around 

 an edge, in close contact with the posterior margin of sclerite L8 (fig. 11 7, 118). 

 The ventral wall of the Ive-pouch is, except for the L2-sclerotisations along its margins, 

 membranous; it is at the same time the anterior dorsal wall of the very broad ventral lobe 

 via (fig. 123). The ejaculatory duct (D in fig. 123, 124) opens into the right part of this 

 membrane. Dorsal to the genital opening there are some membranous outfoldings (goa in 

 fig. 122-124). Sclerite L5 lies in the left dorsal wall of the vla-lobe and is in close contact 

 with the posterior margin of L2 (fig. 123, 124). 



The hia-hook (with L3) is evaginated from the left wall of the left complex (fig. 1 17). The 

 base of hia is rather complicated (fig. 122- 125a) and contains sclerite L4K in its 

 posteroventral part. L4K shows a horseshoe-like dorsoventral curvature, with a broad 

 ventral and a pointed dorsal part. The rightmost part of the left complex is the lobe Iba 

 with sclerite L7 in its ventral wall (fig. 11 5, 117, 118). The Iba-lobe is distinctly separated 

 from the vla-lobe. 



Right phallomere 



Sclerite R3 occupies the anterior (right-) ventral wall (fig. 134- 137). The right margin of 

 R3 forms a groove-like apodeme age (fig. 134, 137). Posterior to the left part of R3 sclerite 

 R2 adjoins (fig. 135- 137), and the two sclerites are fused; a strip of weaker sclerotisation 

 is probably the suture (A7* in fig. 135- 137). Along its ventral margin R2 forms a ridge 

 bearing several processes (fig. 136, 137, 141), the largest of which is behind A7*. Posterior 

 to the central part of R3 the ventral wall of the right phallomere curves dorsad and 

 somewhat anteriad to form a sclerotised central invagination (cbe in fig. 134-136; compare 

 fig. 137 and 138).
