Diagnosis – Clitellum on 13–18, Prostate Pores 17, 19 connected with al- most straight genital grooves just outside setal line b. SPermathecae elongated oval with two diverticles on the oPPosite sides of the duct ( Fig. 1). The Penial

Remarks – Our sPecimen fits well to the original descriPtion of CHAELSEN (1897). The only notable difference is in the length of the clitellum which is stated on 13–17 by Michaelsen, but remarked that the hind end of clitellum is not fully develoPed yet.
