However, it has no differentiated marginal macroducts. The median and second trullae are well developed, strongly sclerotized, and closely appressed together at the apex of the pygidium. There are no gland spines discernible between the median trullae, nor between the median and second trullae, in spite ofthe presence of welldeveloped slender gland spines on the pygidium laterally to these trullae and also on the prepygidial segments anteriorly as far as abd II.
