( X 250 circa.) side-pieces of usual form, moderately hairy; claspers of usual form, rather short (about half the length of the side-pieces), broad and without large hairs at the base, narrowing abruptly in the middle, and terminating in a somewhat spoon-like end. Harpes in lateral view bent in the middle at a right angle (see fig. 22 d), the distal halves somewhat beak-shaped; in dorso-ventral view the distal halves appear as two contiguous chitinous plates (see fig. 22 a). Aedoeagus broad, tapering, bearing on each side at the distal end a barb-like process; ventral wall chitinised almost to the base; membrane joining the aedoeagus to the ninth sternite devoid of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
