Epiphallus and bursa-duct enter the upper atrium proximally, inserting onto a lateral bulge of the atrium just beside the insertion of the dilated oviduct. In a specimen opened as described above, these insertions are thus visible, posterior to the oviduct insertion, without having to detach any genital retractor muscle (although in mature specimens, the bursa and/or the spermoviduct may have to be pushed aside). In contrast to the triangular arrangement in

If the slug has been opened as described above, and no genital retractor cut, before we open the oviduct the ligula base is on the wall of the oviduct lying upwards, away from the body wall.

The opening of the thin oviduct is directly underneath its insertion: there is no tunnel running through the ligula base. The most prominent ligula structure is the bow of the boat, where both longitudinal folds meet distally and project as a thick tongue into the atrium (
