DESCRIPTIONS OF GENERA AND SPECIES 503 



FLETCHER describes 'three' varieties of this two in addition to the typical 

 form ; the latter are named respectively ' montanus ' and ' robustus '; both of these 

 differ in having an additional pair of calciferous glands in viii. They differ also 

 in genital papillae and in size.

 C. Mudgeanus, FLETCHER, loc. cit., iii (2), 1889, p. 1532. 



Definition. Length, 58 mm. ; breadth, 5-5 mm. ; number of segments, 145. Prostomium 

 incomplete. Clitellum, XIII-XVIII, complete. Male pores just dorsad of frst seta. 

 Oviducal pores in front of and veiiirad of inner setae. Genital papillae elliptical or 

 dumb-bell-shaped elevations between segments (some or all) XVI/XXIII. Dorsal pores

 XVI. Last hearts in XIII. Sperm-sac in XI, XII. Spermathecae in VIII, IX, with 

 short diverticulum, opening opposite tsetae. Ilab. Cuullenbone, near Mudgee, N. S. W. 



( 1 5) Cryptodrilus dubius (BEDDARD). 

 C. Illawarrae, FLETCHER, loc. cit., p. 1546. 



Definition. Lengt/i, 100 mm. ; breadth, 3 mm.; number of segments, 270. Prostomiiim 

 incomplete. Clitellum, XIV-XVII, complete. Setae of outer couples twice as far apart 

 as Ihoae of inner. Male pores in line with interval between setae I and 2. Oviducal 

 pores to inside of and in front of inner setae. Genital papillae a ridge connecting 

 male pores. Dorsal pores commence X/XI. Gizzard in V ; no distinct calciferous 

 glands; intestine begins in XVI. Last hearts in XII. Sperm-sacs in IX, XII. 

 Spermathecae in VIII, IX, each with two short diverticula, opening just dorsad of inner 

 seta. Hab. Illawarra, N. S. W. 



I have been compelled to change the name of this species as there is another, 

 C. illaivarrue; the two species were, of course, assigned by FLETCHER to different 

 genera. There seem to be possibly salivary glands of nephridial nature in segments 

 v-vii. FLETCHER describes a variety with an additional pair of papillae between 

 xvi/xvii from Blue Mountains. 



(16) Cryptodrilus illawarrae (FLETCHER). 

 Megascolides (Notoscolex) Illawarrae, FLETCHER, loc. cit., p. 1543. 



Definition. Lenyth, 200 mm. ; breadth, J mm. ; number of segments, 395. Prostomium 

 incomplete. Clitellum, XI1I-XXII, complete. Setae of outer row sinuous after segment
