Ill both sexes the tail is tapering and ends in a fine point. 



The caudal end of the male has no alas. There is a series 

 of oblique muscle-bands on either side, extending- forward for

 row of sucker-like organs on the ventral surface, at regular 

 intervals, with radiating muscle-bands. These organs are

are not provided with any chitinoid supporting structure, and 

 are similar to the single preanal sucker of Suhulura and 

 certain other forms. Of three male examples available, two 

 possessed four of these organs, the third only three. There 

 are ten pairs of rather large caudal papilla? (figs. 3, 4, 5, -/-7,

 front of the cloacal aperture. Two pairs of postanal papillse 

 (numbered 3 and 4 in the figures) are laterally situated, the
