The Trunk is almost spherical, resembling the seed of a pea. In front view, 
however, it is noticeably longer than it is broad. It is flattened dorsi-ventrally, 
but bears neither abdominal appendages nor anal laminae. The abdomen is 
represented by a pronounced genital process, ventral to the anus, bearing a 
median vulva which connects directly with the spermothecal sac.
