Figures 1-3 . Gymnorhynchus isuri from Isurus oxyrinchus. l. Detail of male terminal genitalia. Vagina is
not shown. 2. Cross-section through mature segment at level of ovary. 3. Mature segment. Dorsal surface has
been removed to permit viewing of segment morphology. Vitellaria are circumcortical but are drawn only to the
reader's right of the vertical dashed line. Arrow indicates location at which the section shown in Figure 2 was
taken. Note: There is no preformed uterine pore; circular structure at anterior end of uterus is an artifact resulting
from the removal of the dorsal surface of the segment. C = cirrus, CS = cirrus sac, DOC = dorsal osmoregulatory
canal, ESV = external seminal vesicle, LM = longitudinal muscle, NC= nerve cord, 0 = ovary, T = testis, TM
= transverse muscle, V = vitellaria, VD = vas deferens, VOC = ventral osmoregulatory canal. Best viewed in Firefox
