Liopholidophis grandidieri (Fully Everted Right Organ of MCZ 180297; Fig. 32). The organ was nearly completely everted upon preservation but subsequent- ly everted fully using the technique of Pe- santes (1994). The organ is deeply bilobed, noncapi- tate, acalyculate (entirely spinose), and with a deeply bifurcate centrolineal sulcus spermaticus. The organ is 11 mm total length, bilobed for the distal 5 mm. The sulcus spermaticus is bifurcate for the dis- tal 6 mm. No basal pockets or lobes are present. The sulcus spermaticus is a broad, deep groove, forked for about V2 of its length, with the branches passing distally on the same side of the organ (centrolineal). Dis- tal tips of the forks not expanded, ending at the distal tips of the lobes. Entire organ ornamented with hooked spines, smallest on the lobes, with an array of larger spines encircling the organ at the point where the lobes join (approximately 8-10 enlarged spines around base of each lobe from sulcus to middle of asulcate side)..
