Vagina stout, abruptly thinned and extended into a slightly long duct at ventroapical portion; diverticulum and spermathecal duct arising from the end of the duct of vagina; diverticulum moderately long, spiral and moderately thinned apically; spermathecal duct distinctly shorter than diverticulum and thinner than basal portion of diverticulum; spermatheca composed of a spiral tube which is slightly longer than diverticulum, provided with a thin accessory gland which is distinctly shorter than the spiral tube of spermatheca; median oviduct situated in middle of vagina.
