Cyphopods, also known as vulvae, are paired sacs in female millipedes that located on the underside of the third body segment that store sperm and connect to the oviduct.
[1] Cyphopods are sclerotized, and usually hidden behind a small opening.
Despite the connotation of the suffix -pod (generally referring to legs or feet), cyphopods are not derived from walking legs.
