genitalia, lateral view. C. Female genitalia, ventral view. 
processes joined ventrally to form a short ventral process. Free ends 
of processes directly dorsally, slightly dorso-ventrally flattened, 
pointed in lateral view and truncate in dorsal view. A pair of well 
sclerotized structures ventral to dorsal roof of ring of 9th sternum. 
Caudal ends of processes strongly sclerotized and bent forward 
ventrally to form hook-like structures. Anterior ends of structures 
broadened in lateral view and truncate. The ventral parts of these 
anterior ends broadened laterally and fused together to form a 
broad, somewhat membranous structure attached to dorsal and 
lateral sides of penis and also probably to ring of 9th sternum 
anteriorly and laterally. Penis ending posteriorly in 3 processes, 2 
ventro-lateral spine-like processes slightly laterally flattened and a 
central cone-like process. 
Female genitalia (Fig. 9B-C): Gonapophyses laterales sclerotized 
and fused to form an unpaired median plate. Strongly sclerotized 
part of bursa copulatrix somewhat heart-shaped in lateral view and 
tri-lobed in ventral view. A complicated folded ventral apodeme 
present and a caudal dentiform structure which is strongly scle¬ 
rotized and easily visible externally. 
Immature stages unknown.
