Diagnosis
Males can be recognized by the pale coloured, stout bulb, without tiny conical projection and the nearly straight embolus, without a conductor (
Figure 9
(a), 9(b), fig.
20 in
Grismado et al. 2011
). Females can be recognized by the long anterior receptaculum, rounded posterior receptaculum and semicircular ridges (fig.
21 in
Grismado et al. 2011
).
