For the female reproductive system, a pair of ovaries is located one at each side of the posterior region of the intestine. Their size varies according to the state of sexual maturity. In living specimens, the ovaries usually extend forwards to meet the testes, but they are usually separated in histological sections, possibly due to shrinkage of the specimen (

These features are evolutionary correlated with reciprocal copulation, which is considered to be less evolutionary stable and has greater diversification. These results indicated the importance of increasing taxon sampling of

Since the sampling localities are only a small part of the Pearl River Delta characterized by a wide variety of freshwater and marine habitats, more systematic sampling should result in the discovery of more undescribed species.
