The penial tube has a slight bend at its proximal end, and a distinct and sharp bend at its distal end. The distal tip of the stylet is blunt with a terminal opening. The walls appeared of uniform thickness along the length of the tube. p. 56

Eyes 13 x 25 micrometer. The penis stylet is bow-shaped, gradually tapering in diameter towards the swollen distal end. The walls of the distal end are slightly thickened; the distal opening is displaced slightly to one side of the swollen end and is not exactly terminal. p. 55

The penis stylet is a more-or-less straight tube which diminishes in diameter towards its distal tip; in fact the latter is slightly bent as shown in Figs. 5Band C. The walls of the tube around the distal terminal opening are slightly thickened. p. 54
