Female genitalia
AP somewhat dorsoventrally compressed elongate hairy pads, tapering towards apex. PA from anterior margin of AP sl>2OP. Extension at A8/9 ISM brings anterior end of PA to anterior margin of OP. A8 dorsal plate hyaline apart from a midline sclerotised band that expands towards the anterior margin but does not connect with the ventrolateral (ostial) plate. AA from anterolateral margins of ventrolateral plate sl>1xOP. OP: PM with a U-shaped median notch, tapered from either side of notch laterally; dorsal margin irregular (?dorsolateral margins); AM sl sinuate with a median convexity. Ostium large central. Antrum extends to ~½AA; narrows from ostium to junction with DB; walls diffusely sclerotised; angled to left anteriorly; with a median sclerotised line. DB long; posterior ⅓ fairly straight, then 2 fairly large coils, then ~7 very tight and convoluted coils, then fairly straight to junction with CB; expands towards junction with CB which is indistinct. Linear sclerotisation continues from ostium into the first of the tight coils - the strongly sclerotised line is set in a band of diffuse sclerotisation; hemicircumferential spiculation (only the dorsal midline lacks spicules) from junction with antrum to ½ of first coil; remainder of DB hyaline. CB irregularly ovoid; Signum very large. |
