From the article Artioposthia on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
Species of Artioposthia are characterized by a cylindrical pharynx and ovaries placed anteriorly to the male copulatory apparatus, close to the brain or to the pharynx. The copulatory apparatus has a series of paired glandular organs called adenodactyls. Artioposthia is very similar to the closely related genus Arthurdendyus, the main difference being the position of the ovaries and the shape of the pharynx.
