Gizzard strong and elongate apparently in 6-7 but discernable in 5 by tracing septum 5/6 to near base despite dorsal-wards displacement. Dorsal blood vessel single; hearts paired and increasingly large in 9-13; supra-oesophageal vessel in 10-13. Nephridia meroic with forests of avesiculate tubules on body wall. Spermathecae in 7, 8 and 9 each with elongate, flaccid ampulla and single, small, clavate diverticulum (inseminated) near base implicated with anterior septum which is transgressed. Holandric: minute funnels in 10 and 11 ventrally; seminal vesicles paired, racemose posteriorly in 9 and anteriorly in 12. Ovaries paired as free egg-string bunches ventrally in 13; ovisacs not found. Prostates tubuloracemose extending to ca. 22 from small flaccid ducts to male pores in 18. Oesophagus with oesophageal glands small in 10 and larger in 11-13 then small again in 14; glands more saccular than composite but dilated compared to extraneous oesophageal width. Intestinal origin in 16. Typhlosole and caeca not found (absent). Gut contains fine colloidal reddish soil.</paragraph>
