Description

FIGURE 15. Amynthas rodericensis. (A) Both male pores (arrows) and the associated genital markings, showing two on each side. (B) Right male pore (arrow) with only the post-setal genital marking. (C) Right male pore with no genital marking. A–C all from USNM 125143, different specimens. (D) Paired dorsal spermathecal pores in 5/6/7/8/9 (arrows); dorsal view. The relatively light-colored pores can usually be easily seen due to the relatively dark dorsal pigmentation (USNM 125161). (E) Left spermathecae in VII–IX. (F) Left prostate gland and its duct (arrow). (G) Left intestinal caecum. E–G from the same specimen in USNM 125143.
