Note absence of palps. B. Lateral view of trunk of preserved paratype (SIO-BIC A1639), showing oviduct running dorsally along trunk and terminating at anterior end of trunk. C. Dorsal view of posterior region of trunk of preserved paratype (SIO-BIC A1639) showing oviduct emerging from lower trunk region. D. Lower trunk and ovisac of preserved paratype (SIO-BIC A1639). E. Photomontage lateral view of living paratype (SIO-BIC A7836) collected at 2898 meters, November 2009. Tube has been partly peeled away to reveal inflated trunk. Distal (anterior) part of tube is intact and contains anterior part of the trunk that is not inflated (arrow). Oviduct is visible dorsally (left) and does not contain any oocytes. Cluster of more than 20 dwarf males is present at the base of the trunk. F. Close up of base of trunk of living paratype (SIO-BIC A7836) in 10E, showing scattered dwarf males lying on its surface. Oviduct is the white line in left of the image. Blood vessel inside transparent trunk is also visible.
