A & B—external genitalia (genital coverflap is closed in A and opened in B), C & D—male genital apodemes (C—2 µm deep under ventral cuticle, D—3 µm deep under ventral cuticle), E—remnants of soft internal genital organs. Notations: aga—anterior genital apodeme, co—genital cone, de—damaged ductus ejeculatorius, gc—genital coverflap, mf—medial flap of genital coverflap, pf—posterior folds, pr—pregenital ridges, rm—genital rim, sp—putative spermatophore pump (posterior portion of ductus ejeculatorius), t—testis, vd—vas deferens. Scale bar: A,B,C,D = 5 µm; E = 20 µm.
