Male internal reproductive system (
Fig. 29
): Testis hemispherical in shape, milky white in color. Accessory glands tubular or pear-shaped; of a pair of accessory glands, shorter gland a little over 1/2 times and longer gland almost equal length to maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined. Proximal 2/3 of lateral ejaculatory duct broader than remaining, lateral ejaculatory duct 2/3–3/4 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined; common ejaculatory duct 2–2.5 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined.
Female internal reproductive system (
Figs. 50, 51
,
70 & 71
): Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix apically. Spermathecal capsule hook-shaped, slightly tapering toward apex with small nipple-like projection, slightly constricted at middle, becoming bold proximally, light yellowish brown in color; spermathecal duct becoming bold toward apex, a little longer than maximal length of spermathecal capsule; spermathecal gland tubular, 3–3.5 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule.
