stylet base conical

The stylet reaches its termination in a long sharpened point. p. 188 The sperm cells are elongate, undulating bodies which lack the postero-Iateral setae so common to the genus and are possessed of chromatin granules in the anterior part of the cell having the largest caliber. p. 189

Roughly crenated base. The termination is a very peculiar structure, three drawings of which are given better describe it (Fig. 22). Lateral, end, and dorsal views (a), (b), are shown. The sperm cell is a tapering filament which is possessed lateral setae in the posterior third of the cell. It is interesting note that the greatest number of sperm cells in this species is produced in the latter part of June, the warmest part of the summer in the Mountain Lake region. Also of interest is the fact that sperm is liberated in macerations of the animal will make attempts to penetrate the egg of the parent. The 'feeler' is a slowly undulating tactile organ as long as the sperm cell remains in the body of the animal, but it becomes a highly vibratile structure when in maceration. p. 289

The penis-stilette is a funnel with almost a straight main axis and a sharply pointed and bent termination. The terminal portion enclosing the external opening is bent at an angle of 115 degree. The basal proximal rim is unevenly crenated. The sperm cells have a feeler, body region and a thin filamentous tail. Setae are not present. There is a noticeable massing of chromatic granules in the body region of the cell. p. 31
