the bottom of the pouch is labelled 7). The broad ejaculatory duct (D in fig. 150, 151) 

 opens most anteriorly into this Ive-pouch. 



The ventral wall of the Ive-pouch is at the same time an anterior part of the dorsal wall 

 of the vla-lobe. The ribbon-shaped sclerite L5 (fig. 151, 152) lies more posteriorly in the 

 dorsal vla-wall. The ventral vla-wall is membranous anteriorly and sclerotised by L4G 

 posteriorly. 



The large hook hla (fig. 150, 151), whose distal part is sclerotised by L3, is evaginated 

 from the left wall of the left complex - beneath and somewhat posterior to L4K. 



Right phallomere 



Sclerite R3 occupies the anterior (right-) ventral wall (fig. 160- 163). The lateral and anterior 

 margins of R3 form a weakly sclerotised groove-hke apodeme age (fig. 160, 163). Along 

 the right margin of R3 the ventral sclerotisation of age folds to the left (19 in fig. 163, 

 164). Sclerite R2 articulates with the left part of R3 (A7 in fig. 16 1-163). R2 has the shape 

 of a ridge (fig. 161, 162). Posterior to the central part of R3 the ventral wall of the right 

 phallomere curves dorsad and somewhat anteriad to form a central invagination (cbe in 

 fig. 160-162; compare fig. 163 and 164). 



Posterior to the right part of R3 sclerite RIF adjoins, and the two sclerites articulate (A3 

 in fig. 160, 161, 163). From its central part behind the A3-articulation RIF extends in two 

 directions: The ventral arm bends left-dorsad (behind the edge 16 in fig. 163, 164) and 

 extends into the right-dorsal wall of the cbe-invagination (fig. 160, 164). This part of RIF 

 bulges outwards (pva in fig. 163, 164) by the cuticle being extensively thickened (cross- 

 section in fig. 164). The median end of this arm articulates with the left-dorsal end of R2 

 (A6 in fig. 160, 164). The dorsal arm of RIF extends posterodorsad (fig. 160, 163); 

 anteriorly its dorsal margin folds back to the right to form a sclerotised groove (rge in 

 fig. 160, 163), which is a posterior continuation of the age-groove on R3. 

 The posterior part of the right phallomere is a large dorsal lobe fda (fig. 160- 163, 166), 

 whose dorsal and ventral walls are partly occupied by sclerite RIJ. The dorsal anterior 

 tip of RIJ approaches the dorsal arm of RIF (A8 in fig. 160), its ventral anterior tip 

 approaches the base of the ventral arm of RIF (A9 in fig. 163, 166). The tendon tre has 

 its origin in the anteriormost dorsal wall of fda (fig. 160). In its right wall fda has a large 

 membranous area (17 in fig. 160, 166). At the left end of fda there is another small sclerite 

 RIK (fig. 160).
