Basophilic caudal glands are situated on both sides of the genital atrium. The genital atrium receives the male system from the dorsal side, and both the female system and the uterus from the rostral side. The elongated seminal vesicle is surrounded by strong longitudinal muscles with an oblique orientation in the proximal part. Sperm is discharged through the funnel-shaped opening of the stylet (see also

The stylet lies in the oviform male atrium, which is surrounded by longitudinal muscles and lined with a very low, anucleated epithelium. From the single ovary, the female duct, which is lined with a very low, anucleated epithelium and only distally surrounded by longitudinal muscles, runs ventro-caudally towards the common genital atrium. A very large and vaguely defined bursa contains numerous large nuclei and sperm in different stages of degeneration as well as live sperm, organized in separate compartments. From one of these compartments a curved spermatic duct (

The disparate distribution, indeed, could indicate a geographical isolation of both populations.
