The conspicuous spermiducal bulbs are located behind the anchor-shaped seminal vesicle. The

Female and male gonopores are in close proximity, but clearly separated. The paired oviducts enter separately at the proximal end of the internal vagina. In preserved specimens, the vagina runs from the dorso-lateral side of the body to the medial axis, then bends anteriorly and runs ventrally towards the female pore; this last portion is known as the external vagina. The female atrium is narrow, conical and not ciliated. Numerous cement glands are located along the entire female system, but are open mainly in the external vagina.
