: the gonocoxites were drawn ventrally and the phallic complex laterally. Zaitzevs illustrations differ in many respects from ours, which is from verified identifications, and it could be that his illustration is based on a misidentified specimen. Each gonocoxite in Zaitzevs figure is subconical with a pointed apex and the pair is fused narrowly by a median bridge. However his figures have a deeply cleft pair of gonocoxites, whereas ours are less deeply cleft. He figures two parallel and medially curved apodemes present in the middle of the gonocoxites that are bifurcate at the apex. We found no sclerites in the medial portion of the gonocoxites. The lateral view of the phallic complex is similar to our illustration (
