Ovovitelline ducts emerge laterally from posterior half of ovaries and run posteriorly immediately above nerve plate. Ascending portion of ovovitelline ducts located lateral to female atrium. Common glandular ovovitelline duct short, located dorsally to posterior third of female atrium. Female genital duct dorso-anteriorly curved (Figs 35-37, 41). Female atrium oval-elongate with folded walls (Figs 35, 37), longer than male atrium (Table 3).

Common muscle coat thin along both male and female atria, thicker dorsally than ventrally, composed of circular, longitudinal and oblique fibres. Gonoduct vertical, lined with ciliated columnar epithelium. Numerous cyanophil glands with amorphous secretion and rhabditogen glands open into gonoduct. Muscularis of gonoduct comprised of thin subepithelial layer of circular fibres, followed by thin layer of longitudinal fibres.
