Notes
: The SEMs presented here compliment the drawings in
Shear (1971)
. The two-branched gonopods (
Figs. 255, 256
) are unique in that the anterior branches, which are set with tiny cuticular projections, seem to arise from the sternal part of the coxosternum, which can be seen in a posterior view (
Fig. 256
) to be poorly sclerotized. The posterior gonopod coxites (
Fig. 257
) have an anterior movable flagellum made up of several separate filaments.
