caudal giands, but I suppose that they are situated a considerable 
distance cephalad to the anal aperture, and that they open by 
means of long duets at the tip of the tail as is the case in 
some other genera. 
The female organs are symmetrical, the ovaries are not re- 
flexed; I think that this last-named feature will prove to hold good 
for the greater part of the species belonging to the two nearly 
related genera Sabatieria and Parasabatieria. For S. prædatrix d e 
Man States the same; he writes 1. c. 1907 p. 65, about the said 
species: „Les tubes génitaux sont symétriques, non repliés“. And 
S te i ner communicates for his 5. longiseta 1. c. 1906, p. 595: „So 
viel ich unterscheiden konnte, sind die Ovarien einfach ausgestreckt 
und nicht zuriickgeschlagen“. The vulva is situated somewhat be- 
hind the middle in the species under consideration. It seems as if 
the usual place of the vulva in Sabatieria and Parasabatieria is 
somewhat in front of the middle. In 5. prædatrix it is „située juste 
au milieu du corps“ as States de Man, and in tenuispiculum we 
have a species in which it is situated behind the middle. In this 
species the part of the body in front of the vulva compared to
