Species of Paulodora with the prostate stylet type I hook-shaped, ca 77 μm long (only 62 μm in one specimen from Kenya). Outer stylet proximally forming a semitubular fold, extending distally as a rounded plate that narrows towards the distal tip of the stylet. Bursal stalk long and narrow, covered by pseudocuticula. Ovaries globular. Each oviduct with a seminal receptacle, which in turn is connected to a smaller globular vesicle, also filled with sperm.[From Artois TJ, Tessens BS (2008): 16]
