overhangiug pointed process as iu that genus. In the genitalia it 

 differs from MacrocliJamys in that the male organ is simple and 

 the retractor muscle is attached without any caecum. The dart- 

 sac "was observed in M. rinli, but not in 31. bintennensis. In the 

 former it was shorter than the spermatheca, which was an elongate 

 sac. 



Further detailed examination of the animal of the Andaman and 

 Nicobar species is desirable.
