Male genitalia (Fig. 3 A-C): Ring of 9th sternum dorsally forming 
a horizontal plate. Process of 9th sternum large in lateral view with 
a downward directed flap, shield-shaped in caudal view. Appen¬ 
dages of 9th sternum lightly sclerotized, connected with transverse 
plate and bearing setae caudo-lateral to transverse plate. Transverse 
plate formed of 2 C-shaped structures, free dorsally and fused 
ventrally into a short ventrally directed process. Free ends flattened 
dorso-ventrally, truncate in dorsal view, somewhat pointed in 
lateral view. Penis ending posteriorly in 2 ventro-lateral processes 
and a central, cone-shaped process containing a duct. A pair of 
processes just ventral to dorsal roof of 9th sternum. Caudal ends 
slightly curved ventro-laterally. Anterior portions much flattened 
dorso-ventrally and very wide, joining together to form a slightly 
folded membranous sheath attached to penis and to lateral portion 
of ring of 9th sternum. Ectoprocts weakly sclerotized. 
Female genitalia (Fig. 3D-E): A well-sclerotized subgenital plate 
present. Bursa copulatrix a strongly sclerotized tube. Dorso-caudal- 
ly, a sclerotized structure, dentiform in lateral view and truncate in
