Review of the balantine genus Udeina Michaelsen, 1910 with descriptions of six new species in South Africa (Oligochaeta: Acanthodrilidae, Acanthodrilinae) Author Plisko, Jadwiga Danuta text African Invertebrates 2004 2004-12-31 45 1998 287 287 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.7911385 2305-2562 7911385 Udeina montanus Pickford, 1937 Udeina montanus Pickford, 1937: 420 ; Reynolds & Cook 1976: 140 . Material examined: Paratypes No. SAM 137 ( South African Museum , Cape Town ), Western Cape : Langeberg , Cogman’s Kloof , two tubes: one containing 4 clitellate + 2 juvenile ; the second tube with one clitellate, dissected. All specimens decomposed, in poor condition. Pickford (1937: 420) stated: ‘no data, or collector name; in alcohol, [specimens] in very poor preservation’ . Remarks: Paratype material is heavily decomposed, although the balantine arrangements of the male reproductive organs can be traced. The shape of the spermathecae and prostates are recognisable and are in accordance with Pickford’s description. The position and fusion of the prostatic duct and male pore cannot be confirmed. The description by Pickford, however, is comprehensive.
