of the sucker. Gendre and Gedoelst indicate an additional pair, sit-

 turkey show thickenings of the lip at those points, but no true 

 papillae. The spicules are large, distinct, alate, and equal, 1.32 to 

 1.45 mm. long, or 1.5 mm. long in Seurat's specimens; gubernaculum 

 triangular, 175 to 210/* long. 



Female 9 to 13.7 mm. long by 470 to 560/* wide at level of vulva. 

 Tail straight and conical, 650/* to 1 mm. long, terminating in a point 

 100/* long. Vulva slightly salient, 4.3 to 5.4, or 6.3 mm. in Seurat's 

 specimens, from the head end, or slightly anterior to the middle of 

 the body. Ovejector directed anteriorly, 980/* to 1 mm. long, the
