pores unilateral, situated in middle of segmental margin. Genital ducts passing dorsally across longi­tudinal excretory canals. Cirrus sac elongate, about half of segments, in mature segments 0.320­0.350 x 0.060 - 0.100. Cirrus provided with large spines (0.010), length of the cirrus 0.130. Internal seminal vesicle present, 0.180 x 0.050. External seminal vesicle small (0.040 - 0.080 x 0.040), con­sisting of thick wall. Seminal receptacle elongate (0.150 x 0.090). Testes about 15 per segment, in ap­oral part of segment, reaching aporal part of receptaculum seminis and don't across the ventral ex­cretory canal. Vagina consisting of thin-walled tube. Ovary and vitelline gland situated posteriorly to seminal receptacle, in middle of segment, 0.058 in diameter. The species has short strobila (only 12 segments in Holotype and 13 in Paratype specimens) and the uterus develops rapidly. First it can be discerned in the 5th or 6th segment of the strobila as small rounded organ, present In the middle of segment, anteriorly and ventral to female organs. In the next three segments at first the stage of trans­verse irregularly protruding sack is present, the lumen is clearly visible, in the last one with the first appearance of ova in its lumen. Suddenly the male organs, ovarium and vitelline gland disappear and only the uterus begins to occupy the middle part of the segment, between the ventral excretory canals, situated ventrally. In this stage the sacculations appear along its anterior, posterior and lateral mar­gins, the lumen is full of eggs. The next segment, a gravid one, has the same form and is full of mature eggs. Eggs spherical, 0.052-0.056 in diameter, with pyriform apparatus. There are about 80 eggs in the uterus. The anatomical features of the sp. n. are illustrated in Figures 1-9. Figs. 3-9.
