the anterior segments ; those of segment x. very small ; 34 on v., 

 60 on xxv. Setae ornamented. Spermathecae with long duct. 



Hob. Mexico, Madeira, Egypt, California. 



This species is placed among those with three pairs of spermathecae 

 on account of the fact that one specimen had three pairs of these 

 organs. But two pairs in viii. and ix. seems to be the more usual 

 condition. It is not an easily definable species and may not be 

 distinct. Its chief character (but this has not been looked for in 

 many other species) is a series of vesicular bodies attached to the 

 nephridia after segment xxx.

66 mm., 90 segments. Setae closer ventral ly : 40 on vii., 39 on 

 xxvi. 8 setae between male pores. Septum vii./ix. rudimentary. 

 Spermiducal glands limited to xviii., with short slightly curved 

 (S-shaped) duct. Diverticulum of spermatheca half the length of 

 pouch.

145 mm., 119 segments. Setae with slight dorsal gaps, closer 

 ventrally ; 60 on vi., 86 on xxv. Papillae one in front of and one behind 

 each male pore ; five median on xviii. ; one on xvii., xix. Septum 

 viii./ix. thin. Sperm-sacs with a median process. Spermiducal 

 glands with slightly bent duct. Diverticulum of spermathecae less 

 than pouch.

170 mm., 120 segments. Setae 56 on viii. Papillae on xvii./xviii., 

 xviii./xix., paired in front of and behind male pores. Septum 

 viii./ix. present. Spermiducal glands in three segments, with curved 

 duct. Diverticula of spermathecae long. but coiled into a tight coil, 

 which cannot be separated. Bound sacs of muscular appearance 

 corresponding internally to papillae. 



Hal. Burma, Penang, Siam. 



I do not agree with Eosa as to the absence of the septum viii./ix. 

 I found it to be distinctly present in individuals examined by 

 myself.
