    • 1988, K. G. Adiyodi & ‎Rita G. Adiyodi, Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates, Accessory Sex Glands, →ISBN:
      These glands may be associated with either three (the triaulic condition, Fig. 4C) or two separate ducts (the diaulic condition). Two variants of the diaulic condition are found. A separation of the male functions from the other functions gives the andro-diaulic condition (Fig. 4A), while the separation of the female from the other functions gives the oodiaulic condition (Fig. 4B).
