Paoletti. (
One
specimen).
Diagnosis
. Small sized worms,
60–100 mm
by
5–6 mm
. Colour reddish on dorsum and paler on ventrum. Male pores on 15 small. Clitellum on 1/n 28, 29–37; tubercles on 1/n 28, 29–39. Nephridiopores irregularly alternate between
b
and above
d
. One pair of testes enclosed in suboesophageal testis sacs in 11. Vesicles in 10, 12 of more or less equal size. Spermathecae seven pairs, constant in
6/7–12/13
.
Remarks
. Externally this species is also similar to the smaller exemplars of
Oc. complanatus
, however, the reddish hints seen frequently on dorsum can distinguish it from
complanatus
. As regards the internal anatomical structure, the metandric male condition is clearly differentiating it from the congeners with similar clitellar position.
