Fig. 11. Spermatophore of Varadia amboliensis Bhosale, Thackeray, Muley & Raheem gen. et sp. nov. A. Fragments of two spermatophores (part of the tail-pipe is missing in both), as found in situ in the gametolytic sac of the paratype BNHS GAS 125. B–D. Morphology of the fully-intact spermatophore found in the gametolytic sac of the paratype ZSI Moll/1820. B. The upper arrow indicates the U-shaped bend at the junction of the capsule and tail-pipe, and the lower arrow shows the funnel-like opening at the tip of the tail-pipe. Also shown is the cross section of the spermatophore (indicated by the dotted line) close to the tip of the tail-pipe; note the hollow central area. C. Detail of a small section of the tailpipe (indicated by rectangle in B), showing one of the four longitudinal ribs and the hair-like spines on the spermatophore surface. D. Detail of tip of tail-pipe, showing the funnel-like opening that leads into the hollow central area (shown by arrow). Note the hair-like spines. Abbreviations: cap = capsule; gd = gametolytic duct; gs = gametolytic sac; o = opening at tip of tail-pipe; sp = spermatophore; tp = tail-pipe.
