Copulatory ducts long and strongly convoluted, with two turns, medium bifurcate. The short one connected to secondary spermathecae, the other connected to primary spermathecae. Secondary spermathecae oval, as wide as kidney-shaped primary spermathecae. Fertilization ducts directed at 9:00 o’clock position from spermathecae.
