and to other congeners with a rudimentary phallapodeme, we now suggest that the more accurate interpretation is that the phallapodeme is completely reduced. We suggest further that the C-shaped and very narrow sclerite in lateral view and the bowl-shaped sclerite together forms the aedeagus. This, however, remains a tentative interpretation. The gonite, as in the previous species, seems to be fused with the hypandrium.
