Family Orithyiidae
The male gonopore is coxal in this monotypic family, often ranked to Orithyioidea . In Orithyia , a thick and short penis emerges from the extremity of the large P5 coxo-sternal condyle (see Modalities of penis protection: Condylar protection). The condyle moves freely, with only a small basal portion articulating on a narrow elevation of sternite 8. The penis is covered by a sclerotised sheath, followed by a soft papilla after its emergence ( Fig. 31A). See Monophyletic Heterotremata: Superfamily Orithyioidea .
