in hot lactic acid. It appeared that three haematodochae are implicated in this mechanism: a basal haematodocha, in the cymbium, which pushes out and rotates the palpal organs; a middle one, which pushes the median apophysis out to the side and the more distal organs further; and a distal one, which fills the entire length of the coil carrying the embolus. The embolus itself lies in the “upper” edge of the coil and emerges as a free structure near the tip. The distal haematodocha is found as a distensible membrane on the inner surface of the coil. When expanded, this latter pushes out, swells and partially uncoils the embolus. The median apophysis is a hook structure lying just below the coil and must probably engage in the postero-lateral sockets of the female epigyne, allowing a firm grip. To summarize, the whole coiled male embolus is inserted through the coil of the epigyne, mechanical stability being provided by the median apophysis hooking into the postero-lateral epigyne socket. Finally, if this inference is correct, the free embolus tip should reach somewhere near the apex of the female coil, where the sperm is hence discharged.

Concerning the female, two independent investigations were carried out by two of the authors to describe the structure of the vulva (i.e., the dorsal view of the epigyne). In entelegyne spiders, the vulva is typically constituted by a pair of seminal receptacles, commonly called spermathecae, associated with two pairs of ducts, one connecting the copulatory openings to the spermathecae, which permit to transfer the sperm by the introduction of the embolus, the insemination ducts, the other pair connecting the spermathecae to the oviduct, the fertilization ducts. Following, in part, the interpretation of Wiehle (1967: 13), one can think that the very small bursae attached near the distal part of the large coils of the epigyne are the spermathecae, and the highly visible, narrow, coiled ducts, running back from these spermathecae to the flattened lanceolate structures, are the fertilization ducts. The insemination ducts, connecting the apex of the large coils to these small spermathecae, had not been found with classical observation; we can thus hypothesize that they are probably minute or transparent, perhaps sometimes hidden by the dark secretions often observed in the inseminated females. Another interpretation can be proposed for the structures above-mentioned. Indeed, the small bursae can be seen as some glandular organs rather than some seminal receptacles. This hypothesis was proposed by
