Median lobe well developed, notched on outer margin, 

 with often indication of indentation on inner margin; second 

 lobe very slightly developed, inner angle longest; third lobe 

 rudimentary. First incision considerably deeper than second. 

 Inner chitinous process of first incision largest. Plates about 

 five in number, small, branched, and distributed between 

 median lobe and outer part of rudimentary third lobe. Dor- 

 sal glands conspicuous. Ventral grouped glands: median, 

 none; cephalolateral, six to seven; caudolateral, three to four.

Anal segment of mature female with median lobes well 

 developed, parallel, not rounding, distinctly notched on both 

 outer and inner margins; second lobe with inner angle devel- 

 oped; third lobe rudimentary. Plates small and inconspicu- 

 ous. Incisions marked. Chitinous processes of incisions not 

 nearly so strong as in ancylus; inner chitinous process of first 

 incision larger than outer; chitinous processes of second in- 

 cision reduced to a fine line bordering margins of incision. 

 Ventral grouped glands: median, none; cephalolateral, seven 

 to eight; caudolateral, six to nine; cephalolateral and 

 caudolateral groups usually merged together, glands arranged 

 lineally, or groups separated by a very slight interval. 



Immature female with three lobes present.
