286 H. N. MOSELEY. 



Genus Bolichoplana, gen. nov., Moseley. 



Body extremely long and narrow, flattened, and band-like- 

 tapering to a blunt point at either extremity. Mouth situate at 

 a distance from the anterior extremity of about one third the 

 length of the body. Generative aperture at about the same dis- 

 tance posterior to it. Eyes two only, as in Rhynchodemus. 

 External longitudinal muscular bundles very much developed all 

 over the body, but especially in the dorsal regions, where they are 

 the only longitudinal muscles present. Ambulacral line slightly 

 indicated. Lateral organs as in Rhynchodemus. 



Habitat. — PhiHppine Islands. 



Bolichoplana striata, sp. n., Moseley. Body of a light olive- 

 brown colour, with two narrow black longitudinal stripes on 

 the dorsal surface. The pair of bands nearest the middle line 

 are sharply defined and are separated from one another by a broad 

 mesial band of the ground colour of the animal. 



The outer pair of bands is less distinctly defined. The bands 

 are placed on the lateral margins of the body and are separated 

 by wide intervals from the inner pair. 



Three spirit specimens varied in length between 19"5 cm. and 

 15*9 cm., and in breadth measured about 3"5 mm. 



Three specimens only, found in the neighbourhood of Manilla, 

 were obtained in spirit from a resident in that city.
