Circulatory system. Dorsal vessel single, the last heart in 

 segment 12. 



Excretory system. Ple3tonephric. 



Reproductive system. Testes in segments 10 and 11, 

 rosettes iu the same segments. 



Prostates flattened, bilobed, one half in segment 18, the 

 other in segment 19 ; each half with a .short separate duct, 

 the two uniting on each side in segment 18. 



Speim sacs attached to the posterior wall of segment 9, 

 and the anterior of segment 12. Saccular in form.

Habitat. Loch, 8. Gippsland ; Narre Warren, Waratah 

 Bay (Mr. W. Mann). 



Found abundantly under logs at Nari'e Warren by Mr. 

 French and myself I have much pleasure in associating with 

 this the name of Mr. French, the Government Entomologist 

 of Victoria, to whom I am much indebted for frequent and 

 valuable assistance. This is one of those forms which make 

 burrows, coming to the su'-face under logs and stones, in 

 which position the buri'ow lies open, the upper surface being 

 closed in by the log or stone.

Prostouiium incompletely dovetailed into the peristomium 

 (about f). The peristomium marked by a distinct median 

 ventral cleft. 



Body dark purple-ljrown at the anterior end, with a dark 

 median dorsal hue along the body. Light brown behind the 

 clitellum, except the dorsal portion close to the lattei'.

 setse, but not on papillae. 



Oviduct pores on segment 14.
