Michaelsen 1913: 7 ; 1914 a: 89 ; 1914b: 165 ; 1935: 36 . Length 35–45 mm , width 1–1.5 mm , segments 150. Length of a lateral seta from XV ental to the node, 0.109 mm . in XI, aa : ab:bc:cd:dd =3.7:1.0:3.1:1.0:3.6; dd=0.21 u ; bc : aa =0.8. Clitellum annular in 1/2XII to XV. Male pores ventrolateral in XIII, just dorsal to b . Female pores in line with the male pores immediately behind furrow 13/14. Spermathecal pore single, mid–dorsal on IX just behind 8/9 on a prominent papilla. Septa very muscular from 4/5–9/10 inclusive; 3/4 not apparent; 10/11 dorsally partially thickened, mostly evaginated posteriad as a very thin–walled seminal vesicle; 11/12 and 12/13 only slightly thickened; 13/14 posteriad not appreciably thickened. Intestine beginning in XVI. Chromophil septal glands in V–VIII, attached to posterior septa. Nephridia commencing in XV or XVI. Testes ventral on the anterior wall of X. No testis–sacs apparent. Seminal vesicle almost filling XI. Sperm funnels posterior and ventral in X facing anteriorly and dorsally to serve both X and the seminal vesicle. Atria large and globular, almost filling XIII; 0.347 mm wide narrowing ectally to 0.204. mm. Each with lining epithelium surrounded by a thick muscular sheath outside which, but not closely adherent, are tongues of unicellular gland cells which communicate with the atrial lumen by a large number of small ductules which penetrate the muscular layer. Penis eversible and elongate. Ovaries in XIII, on its anterior wall; funnels on its posterior wall, penetrating 13/14. Ovisac extending posteriad into XVI. Mature oocytes large and yolky. Nephridia commencing in XV or XVI. Spermatheca 0.138 mm wide, single, lying recurved in IX. Distribution . Uganda , Mt. Elgon, in tributaries of the Kiriki River, which flows into Lake Okolitorom.
