Seta3 somewhat difficult to see. In front of clitellum, 

 12 or 13 on each side ; behind, 12-16 on each side. 



Male pores on very strongly marked pa])ill8e on segment 

 18, the openings being slightly dorsal to the level of the

Oviduct pores (m segment 14. 



Spermathecal pores, five pairs. 



Accessory copnlatory structures. Three pairs of well 

 marked elliptical tumid patches, each with a median linear 

 depression on the posterior portions of segments 9, 10, and 

 1 1 , and extending over a space equal to that between setee 

 1 and 3 on each side. A smaller i)atch on the anterior part
