This structure was identified as M 3 in Wanless (1984). Additionally, the membranous patch of the distal haematodocha at the base of embolus is referred to here as M, aligning with the designation of M 1 in Wanless’s (1984) study on Spartaeus . In the redescription of S. platnicki Song, Chen &amp; Gong, 1991, the marked TA (Lin et al. 2023: fig. 18) is likely mislabelled and probably should be M in this study, considering its position at the base of embolus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/106A82DCC8FE5F1BBCD2EE4A99B8F0F0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
