There were two testes (Figs. 1A, 1C: t) which connected to a seminal vesicle (Figs. 1A, 1C: sv). The seminal vesicle opened proximally into the male bulb, which includes proximally the prostate vesicle (Fig. 1C: pv) and carries a stylet (Figs. 1A, 1C: st; 1D–E). The stylet was 80 µm long, straight, tapering towards an oblique, sharp tip. The male accessory organ (Fig. 1: ao) was relatively long and presented a proximal, sac-shaped, glandular area, and a distal poorly developed stalk (maybe not fully developed or lined by weak muscles). The male gonopore (Fig. 1C: mg) opened at 60% and was surrounded by a glandular area (Fig. 1C: g).</p><p>The female system was not developed. However, posterior to the male system the primordia of ovaries (Fig. 1C: pov) and a bursa (Fig. 1C: pb) were differentiated.</p>
