chamberun: iitriopoda of thi Australian region. 233 



Bead smooth. Sulcus widely interrupted in the frontal region. Antennae 

 long, reaching to the caudal edge <>f the second tergite. Byes large, only 



about their diameter apart. The eardo of the gnal hoehilarium much more 

 strongly produced than in Tru/on i it! us luiuhrici nus. 



Collum with lower angle more acute than in T. lumbricinus, its anterior edge 



etraighter. 



Transverse sulcus curved at level of the pore. The principal markings of 

 the segments dorsally are short, curved impressions in a band just in front of 

 the position of the suture, these much fewer than in T. lumbricinus and absent, 

 excepting in the narrow band mentioned, no coarse punctae. Segments 

 strongly longitudinally striate beneath and part way up the side. 



Anal scutum smooth and shining, much exceeded by the valves. Valves 

 with borders compressed and elevated but not set off by a marginal furrow; 

 border crossed by distant fine sulci and also some fine vertical sulci across 

 upper part of each valve. 



Median plate of gonopods with branches widely diverging, broad, curving 

 about bases of gonopods as in Acanthiulus and Spirostrophus; mesal process 

 or free portion of outer branch farther dorsad or toward end of arm than usual 

 in Spirostrophus, broad and thin, short. Femur of anterior gonopods promi- 

 nently ridged along mesal side and extended on this side distad as a conspicu- 

 ous rounded prominence along the side of the tibial lobe toward which it 

 curves. The tibial lobe short, rounded, without angles or processes. In the 

 posterior gonopods there is at the tip a triangular plate and below this a thin 

 plate-like extension showing a median spine-like rib. From a rounded lobe 

 proximad of this extends a slender acute needle or style which seems to con- 

 tain the terminal part of the seminiferous duct but this could not be ascertained 

 with entire certainty. 



Number of segments, fifty-four. 



Width, 4.5 mm.
