496 YEEMBS COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 



This new species is quite distinct from the other of the same subgenus. The 

 spermiducal apparatus, as mentioned above, is like that of Ph. {Paraph.) hellwigiana 

 Cogn., but the hitter species is provided with unpaired spermathecse on the middle 

 ventral line, whereas in Ph. (Paraph.) utakwana the same organs are paired. 

 Ph. (Paraph.) hellwigiana Cogn. is also a New Guinea species. 



rHEEETIJIA (PaRAPHERETIMA) BEAUFORTII, Var. APOTREMA. 

 Pheretima (Parapheretima) beaufortii, var. apotrema Cognetti, Nova Guiuea^ ix. p. 297 (19L2). 



A single specimen, which agrees with my description in the majority of the characters 

 referred to. The only differences are: greater size (length 215 mm., instead of 

 110 mm. ; thickness 7 mm., instead of 3 mm.) and a smaller number of setse between 

 the male pores (10 setae instead of 14). The type-specimen of this variety was 

 collected in the neighbourhood of Etna Bay in southern Dutch New Guinea. 



Camp 12, Utakwa Valley, 10,000 ft., Feb. 1913. A single specimen.
