Seminal furrows bent rather strongly, laterally convex. 



Spermathecal pores at 7/8 and 8/9 in b. 



Internal Anatomy. Alimentary tract : A rather large glittering 

 gizzard in the 5 segment. No calciferous glands. 



Male organs : Two pairs of free spermiducal funnels in the 10 and 

 11 segments. Three (?) pairs of sperm-sacs in the 9, 11, and 12 seg- 

 ments (?). Prostates tube-like, restricted to 1 segment or to 2 

 segments ; glandular part irregularly wound ; duct rather short, 

 quite straight, about half as thick as the glandular part. Penial 

 setae in two different forms : (1) slender form ca. O9 mm. long and 

 proximally ca. 8 p. thick, distally 3| p thick, slightly and simply 

 bent; distal end flattened and somewhat broadened (to about 5 /.<), 

 somewhat hollowed, ending in two clumsy tips between which is 

 expanded a plane with concave edge ; distal end of seta ornamented 

 with some scarce and small clumsy teeth or knobs, which are placed 

 in the proximal ends of longitudinal scar-like recesses, and hardly 

 project above the general surface of the seta ; (2) clumsier form ca. 

 0-4 mm. long and proximally 10 /< thick, in the middle still 9 ft. 

 thick, and quickly diminishing not long before the distal end ; in 

 general nearly straight, but distal end bent to the form of a spiral, 

 with a simple tip ; distal part of the seta, with the exception of the 

 bent tip, ornamented by rather gross scale-like protuberances at the 

 proximal end of rather deep scar-like recesses. 



Spermathecae : Ampulla longitudinally sac-like; duct sharply 

 separated from the ampulla, about as long and as thick as the latter ; 

 somewhat above the distal opening of the duct the latter is entered 

 by a diverticulum, which is somewhat shorter than the ampulla, and 

 which has the shape of a forked tube ; the two ends of this forked 

 diverticulum are of somewhat different length, and the longer one is 

 about as long as the common basal part.

l'].rtcnial Characters.- Length 48-58 mm., maximal thickness 

 3-3^ mm., number of segments 110-150. 



Copulatory organs wanting or two unpaired transversely oval 

 glandular cushions medially-ventrally at the 17 and 19 segments, 

 and one pair of transversely oval papillae at the hinder part of the 

 G or the 9 segment, or an additional unpaired similar one at one side 

 of the 21 segment.
