The penis-stilette is a funnel with almost a straight main axis and a sharply pointed and bent termination. The terminal portion enclosing the external opening is bent at an angle of 115 degree. The basal proximal rim is unevenly crenated. The sperm cells have a feeler, body region and a thin filamentous tail. Setae are not present. There is a noticeable massing of chromatic granules in the body region of the cell. p. 31
