Description
FIG. 8. Examples of field-everted hemipenes showing diminution (A) or loss (B–C) of distal forks after expansion of capitulum. Pliable tissue separating the sulcus branches before eversion is stretched flat in B and C. (Scale line = 1 mm.) A. Leptodeira annulata cussiliris (AMNH R-107291, right organ); fork slightly widened (cf., fig. 7B), with very short branch terminations concealed in calyces. B. Leptodeira annulata annulata (AMNH R-133340, right organ); a pronounced fork on field-everted organ expanded into this shape after softening in KOH and injection with petroleum jelly (shape is triangular, the heart-shaped appearance imparted by overhanging calyces at top). C. Leptodeira maculata (AMNH R-82150, right organ), showing extreme flattening and loss of terminal fork.
