status

 

2 Penis apex with elongate lateral sclerites between membranous ventral and dorsal areas and with a transverse dorsodistal patch of spines. Endophallus much wider than the tube, base bare. The spiny section shows a size gradient from large dorsobasal to smaller distal spines. Endophallus diameter quickly reduced to the narrow distal part which when completely everted resembles an elephant’s trunk ( Figs. 209–210 View FIGURES 209–212 )...................................................... 38 N.
