Oviduct pores on segment 14, on a slight glandular space 

 in front of, and ventral of the level of the innermost setae. 



Spermathec.il [)ores intersegmental in position, between 

 segments 7 and 8, and 8 and [). Slightly dorsal to the level 

 of the innermost setse. 



Accessory copulatory structui-e.s. Two ciicular patches, 

 one immediately in front of and one immediateh' behind the 

 male ojienings ; each small and in the mid-ventral space, 

 between the innermost rows of setfe of each side.

 10. Large intestine commences in segment 20.

Sperm sacs, grape-like, attached to the anterior walls of 

 segments 14 and 12, and the ])OSterior wail of .segment 9. 



Ovaries in segment 13, into which ihe oviducts open. 



Spermathecpe, two pairs in segments 8 and !). Each 

 consists of a long saccular part, Avith a diverticulum about 

 one-third its length. 



Habitat. Nari-e Warren, Gij)psland. Collected by Mr. C.
