Csuzdi, Cs.: The first recorded earthworms from Burkina Faso with description of a new species (Oligochaeta: Eudrilidae, Acanthodrilidae)

the ovarian duct passes into an ovisac. The ental part of this ovisac forms a bursa propulso­ria, which medially communicates with the ring-shaped coelomic sac, while laterally opens into the female pores on the posterio-lateral part of segment 14 (Fig. 6). Euprostates paired, somewhat flexed, ectally taper into slender ducts and communicate with the ental end of the thick penis sheath, bearing a rounded penial chamber (Fig. 7). Within the penial chamber a pair of small copulatory appendages arises from the ventral surface (Fig. 8). The new species is most closely related to the other penis bearing species; L, rapta Sims, 1964, however differs in the position of the spermathecal pore, the shape of the copulatory appendages, the shape of sperm reservoirs and in size.

Theco-ovarian system, s = septum 12/13; ov = ovarium; sa = spermathecal atrium; cd = circumoesophageal duct; os = ovisac; bp = bursa propulsoria; am = spermathecal ampulla
