This species is represented in the collection by only two indviduals, both about 

 the same size. The one more carefully studied is imperfect posteriorly, containing 62 

 segments, measuring. 25 mm. in length, with a maximum diameter of 4 mm. some 

 little distance behind the anterior end ; it gradually decreases both forwards to 2 mm. 

 at the buccal segment, and backwards, so that the hinder end of the fragment is 1 mm. 

 It appears, therefore, that only a few segments are missing.
