165 mm., 95 segments. Setae 45 on v., 56 on xxvi. Male pores 

 rather close. Spermiducal gland limited to xviii. Diverticulum of 

 spermathecae not long, with an accessory diverticulum. 



Hah. Celebes. 



This species clearly approaches Amyntas halmaherce. The male 

 pores, rather close, are not quite so nearly approximated as in that 

 species ; the caeca show the commencement of the digitation so 

 pronounced in " digitata." This latter form moreover has the 

 spermiducal gland confined to segment xviii., as is the case with 

 A. sarasinorum.

115 mm., 105 segments. About 8 pairs of papillae on segments 

 xvii.-xix. Four setae between male pores, but orifices not closely 

 approximated. Diverticulum of spermatheca longer than pouch.

125 mm., 90 segments, of stout build. 11-15 setae between 

 male pores. Anterior setae larger. Three small papilla? surrounding 

 male pore ; anteriorly a pair lying to inside of, and before, and in 

 front of each spermathecal aperture. To all these correspond 

 stalked glands. Spermiducal glands absent, only duct represented, 

 which is curved. Diverticulum of spermatheca long and straight, 

 longer than pouch. 



Hab. Japan. 



I regard PericJiosta campestris as synonymous with my species. 

 It has two pairs of spermathecae in the same segments, which appear 

 however to have shorter diverticula. The presence of a spermiducal 

 gland in campestris does not invalidate the comparison, since we 

 have cases like A. heterochcetus, where this gland may be absent or 

 present. The papillae too are slightly different in the two forms. 

 Still campestris appears to be more like masatakce than divergens, 

 where it was placed by Michaelsen.
