Single pair of anchors (ventral): inner length 38 (37–39; n = 6); outer length 47 (45–49; n = 6); point length 27 (26–29; n = 6). One bar (ventral): 66 (63–68; n = 6) long, 8 (7–8; n = 6) wide. Hooks 7 pairs, slightly dissimilar in size; hook lengths (n = 6): pairs I, II = 17 (17–18); pairs III, IV, VI, VII = 22 (21–22); pair V = 19 (19–20). Vagina sclerotized, 43 (39–47; n = 6) long.
