Setae arranged regularly in two pairs on each side ; the setae 

 of each pair close together ; the dorsal pair about one-third of the 

 height of the body from the ventral line. 



Male pores on papillae on segment 18 at the level of the 

 interval between the two setae of the ventral pair on each side. 



Spermiducal pores on segment 18 just behind but distinct from 

 the male pores. 



Oviduct pores on segment 14. 



Spermathecal pores two ; intersegmental on small oval 

 glandular patches at the level of the interval between the ventral 

 pair of setae between segments 7 and 8, 8 and 9. 



Dorsal pores present ; the first between segments 8 and 9. 



Alimentary canal. Gizzard in segment 5. No vascular 

 swellings or calciferous glands. Large intestine, commencing in 

 segment 16. 



Blood vascular system. Dorsal vessel single with heart in 

 segments 7-12. 



Excretory system. Meganephric. 



Reproductive system. Testes, two pairs in segments 10 and 

 11. Ciliated rosettes in the same segments. 



Spermiducal glands long and coiled ; the tube extending over 

 segments 16-21. In the median ventral part of segments 16-20 

 is a large mass of glands corresponding in position to the 

 glandular area visible externally. 



Sperm sacs attached to the anterior wall of segment 12. 

 Ovaries in segment 13 ; oviducts open into the same segment. 



Spermathecae in segments 8 and 9. Each consists of a slightly 

 elongate sac with a spherical diverticulum. 



Habitat. Gayndah, Queensland. Found under logs in the 

 scrub. 



Meg-ascolides, McCoy. 



(1.) Megascolides diaphanus, sp. n. (Figs, 7, 8, 9.) Spirit 

 specimens 1^ inch long, ^ inch broad. 



Prostomium very slightly wedged into the peristomium. 



Clitellum not distinguishable. An elongate glandular patch 

 on the ventral surface of segment 18, and a white, rounded, 

 glandular area ventrally on segments 20 and 21.
