 boscis. The oesophagus is quite short and leads into the crop, 

 produced laterally into seven pairs of diverticula, of which the 

 last is much larger than the rest and elongated posteriorly. The

 other species, with four pairs of simple finger-like caeca. 



There are six pairs of testes placed alternately with the crop 

 diverticula, the first pair occupying the SDace between the first 

 and second pairs of the latter and partly covered by the second 

 pair dorsally. The vas deferens forms a mass of convoluted tubes 

 on either side of the male opening. The ovaries occupy the usual
