side below the gut. They only extend through the thvee segments 

 18, 17, and 16. 



The duct is very shoi-t and thick. 



The spei-matheca (text-fig. 75, p. 249) likewise has a short duct, 

 and the diverticulum is similar to that of the foregoing species. 



Loc. Whangarei, I^orth Island, New Zealand. 



Remarks. — This species is evidently nearly allied to T. urewene., 

 but difiers from it in the relative position of the male and sperma- 

 thecal pores, in the position of the tubercida pubertatis, in the 

 clipetal formula, and especially in the i-elation of ab to be, as well 

 as in the less extent of the prostate and its duct. 



5. ToKEA suTERi, sp. n. (Text-figs. 76, 77.) 



A single individual collected by Mr. H. Suter in 1899. It 

 differs in general appearance from any of the preceding species, not 

 only in size, but in colour. It is dark purplish brown throughout 

 the entire doi'sal surface ; the clitellum is reddish purple. 



Dimensions. 50 x 5 mm. ; with 86 segments. 



Prostotniuyn ^ epilobic ; without ti'ansverse gi-oove. 



The chcetce are practically ecjuidistant, 

 while cd is only 1*75 mm.

 Text-fig. 77. Tokea suteri. — Spennatheca (X 12. Camera outline of mounted 

 specimen). 



On the clitellum the gap aa is a little less than postei'iorly, and 

 in the preclitellar i-egion still less ; the ga,p ab is less in the 

 clitellar region, but not anteriorly. But these differences are 

 not perceptible till measured with compasses. 



Clitellum in segments 1 3-1 7 ( = 5 segments), girdle- like. 



Genital pores, c&c. (text-fig. 76). — A pair of small papillae on 

 segment 18, in the line of a. 



There is a pair of small tubercida pubertatis — subcircular and 

 pitted — between 18/29 in line a, and extending further mediad 

 thereof than do the porophores.
