The rounded prostatic vesicle has a muscular wall and a very high, smooth glandular inner lining. The ciliated ejaculatory duct describes a tortuous trajectory up to reach the penis papilla, having a well-developed muscular layer. The prostatic duct is short and straight, joining the ejaculatory duct beyond the point where the stylet is attached. The stylet is conical and elongated, 330 µm long and slightly curved. The penis sheath is ciliated, short and narrow (figure 6A). The spacious male atrium is ciliated and directed forwards, opening to a male gonopore located 7.6 mm from the fore end.

Without an apparent cement pouch, the vagina and atrium are completely ciliated, underlain by a frail layer of circular muscle fibres.
