Oviduct arises anteriorly from anterodextral lobe of ovary. Oötype located on median line or immediately anterosinistral and dorsal to ovary. Seminal receptacle canalicular, ovoid to teardrop-shaped, dorsosinistral and either completely anterior to or overlapping anterior margin of ovary. Laurer's canal wide and winding, passing anteriorly from seminal receptacle to overlap posterosinistral loops of uterus, terminating directly dorsal to or just medial of left cecum on dorsal surface; dark-stained cells around canal opening. Vitellaria follicular, circumcaecal, extending posterolaterally from level at or just posterior to intestinal bifurcation to posterior extremity; vitelline field interrupted around level of ventral sucker producing two paired, non-confluent, isolated patches of vitelline follicles extending from bifurcal level to anterior margin of ventral sucker (paired anterior vitelline patches can be confluent and extend 3/4 distance over ventral sucker in contracted specimens); remainder of vitelline follicles commencing at level of posterior margin of ventral sucker, running posterolaterally to testes and ovary, not confluent in immediate preovarian space, between ovary and anterior testis or in intertesticular area, confluent in posttesticular region. Vitelline reservoir medial to sinistral, dorsally overlapping anterior margin of ovary or immediately preovarian, often ventrally overlapping seminal receptacle. Uterus tightly coiled, winding, intercaecal, wide loops running anteriorly from ovary up through middle of ventral sucker where loops narrow; distal loop turning anterosinistrally to run up along left side of cirrus-sac before terminating at genital pore. Metraterm straight, thin-walled, weakly developed, narrower than remainder of uterus, 1/5 to 1/3 length of cirrus-sac and running anterior along left side of it.

While there is a tendency for the more posterior vitelline follicles to be restricted to only the ventral side of the caeca, we noticed at times circumcaecal vitelline follicles in this location. More numerous were the circumcaecal follicles making up the two isolated anterior vitelline groups (see
