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.[1]
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.[2]
