We here give the first description of the female genitalia.] Furca U-shaped, sclerotized, lateral arms thin, birfurcate apically, connected by thickly sclerotized slightly bilobed bridge, with two small linear sclerites next to genital orifice; common spermathecal duct very short; each spermathecal duct divided into two sections, basal section, transversely striated, long, broad, apical section narrow and smooth duct, without distinct sperm pump or valves; basal part of median spermathecal duct narrower than that of lateral ducts, without striation, twisted spirally on basal half, thin, straight on distal half toward reservoir; lateral spermathecal ducts about 3 times width of median duct; spermathecal reservoirs obovate, slightly indented medially, with short and dense canaliculi apica64lly.
