). The male and the female were described with markedly different cordon lengths, 220 and 1,200 lm, respectively. Our reexamination of the type-specimens confirms the recorded differences between the lengths of the cordons of the male and the female. In addition, the plates of the cordons of the male are irregular in shape, while those of the female are rectangular. These differences of the length and structure of the cordons and the absence of fertilized eggs in the uterus of the female suggest that the male and the female in the type-series of
