Reproductive system. Two pairs of testes in segments 10 and 

 11, into which open the ciliated rosettes. 



Spermiducal glands, coiled, tubular, in segments 18 and 19. 



Sperm sacs, racemose, attached to the posterior wall of segment

Prostomium only very slightly dovetailed into the peristomiura ; 

 marked by a groove behind which a dark line runs back in the 

 mid dorsal line. 



Clitellum very strongly developed and remarkably iridescent, 

 extending over segments 14-18 and the posterior part of 13 ; no 

 accessory copulatory structures. 



Setae, 20-21 on each side of the segments in front of the 

 clitellum, 21-26 along the body behind the clitellum ; irregularly 

 arranged dorsally. 



Male pores on papillae united by a mid ventral ridge on 

 segment 18 at the level of the interval between the two ventral 

 setae on each side. 



Oviduct pores on a small, white, glandular patch on segment 

 14. 



Spermathecal pores, 5 pairs, at the level of the ventral setae 

 on each side, between segments 4 and 5, 5 and 6, 6 and 7, 7 and 

 8, 8 and 9.
