. In specimen
RMNH
.VER.21030.b (field number RS581.1), a pharyngeal portion was cut off for DNA extraction, while in specimen
RMNH
.VER.21030.c (field number RS581.3) the tip of the tail was cut off for the same purpose. At this moment, histological sections of these animals are unavailable and, thus, there is no information on the anatomy of the reproductive apparatus.
