Fig. 6. Mantle cavity of female specimen. The mantle cavity and funnel have been opened by median longitudinal cuts. The septum dividing the posterior part of the mantle cavity into two has been removed, exposing the vestigial siphuncle artery and vein (S.A. and S.V.). The ovary shows through the semi‑transparent posterior part of the visceral dome. The very large nidamental and accessory nidamental glands (N. and AC.N.G.) are attached to the posterior part of the visceral dome. Only the parts not displayed, or not lettered in Figure 5, are lettered in this figure. |
