; a = 24 -28; b = 5.2 - 5.6; c = 24- 29; V = 2o- 2 i49_ 53i7 -22; odontostyle = 23 -24 pi; basal portion = 30-31 (x.
Odontostyle length equal to 1.6-1.8 x width of lip region. The latter is offset by a shallow constriction. Tail length equal to 1.8- 2.0 anal body widths. Rectum as long as anal body width, prerectum about four times as long. Gonads with sperm. A male, still within the juvenile cuticle, has seven supplements.
Samples 17, 18, 26, 27, 34, 40 and 42.
E. macrodoroides
is
species inquirenda
(Jairajpuri & Loof, 1968). The present specimens resemble the tropical species
E. constrictus
Jairajpuri & Loof, 1968
, but apart from the improbability that this species should occur in the arctics, the higher supplement number makes me keep them apart from that species.
