a) is bilobed, short and semicapitate (see discussion). Sulcus spermaticus curved, deep and bordered by small spines, bifurcated at the base of the lobes with diverging branches oriented medially and reaching the apexes. Capitular groove evident but not deep, transversely oriented on the asulcate surface, encircling the organ and bending bilaterally towards the base adjacent to the sulcus spermaticus at the sulcate surface. Lobes short (less than half of the capitular region length). Capitular region uniformly ornamented with oblique rows of stout, curved spines, decreasing in size towards the apexes of the lobes except in the lobular crotch, ornamented with smaller and less densely arranged spines. Basal region ornamented proximally with sparse and irregularly arranged spinules and small spines (smaller than the capitular ones) distally. Basal pocket deep, with a naked bottom and bordered with spinules.
