Trilocular pores most abundant posteriorly on dorsum and near ostioles; others present on venter, mainly in submarginal areas. Discoidal pores of 2 sizes: larger pores with thick irregular rims, conspicuous, situated anterior to anal ring, and smaller pores sparse in submarginal areas. Oral collar ducts of 3 sizes: smallest ducts on dorsal abdominal segments; intermediate-sized ducts mostly on dorsum of abdomen but also some on head and thorax, plus some on venter of abdomen and on lateral areas of thorax; largest ducts conspicuously larger than other 2 types, each wider than a trilocular pore, most abundant on dorsum and venter of head and thorax.
