Most of the other traits in our material correspond with the original account, notable are general size and segment number, presence of pyriform glands, brain shape, presence, shape and size of the oesophageal appendages, details of the pharyngeal glands, position of first preclitellar nephridium, inward-projection of four longitudinal rows of clitellar gland cells laterally, general shape of the male reproductive system, and shape of the spermatheca. Several details have been added to the original description here; notable are location of spermathecal ectal pores, the number and location of thickened septa and preclitellar nephridia, and details of the clitellum, e.g., presence and distribution of granulocytes. Some taxonomically unimportant differences of the original description concern maximum body diameter (originally given as 252266 µm and probably measured on flattened specimens during live investigation), relative length of pyriform glands, and brain size.

The body wall muscles do not follow this inward bulge but rather leave clefts through which the 'baguette' cells penetrate into the coelom. This gives the impression as if the clitellar cells were located below the muscle layer. The longitudinal muscles are restricted here to narrow strands between the 'baguettes', close to the body surface; there are three strands on either side of the body wall, one ventrally of each the two baguettes, and one in the midst of the latero-ventral granulocyte layer; these strands spread out anteriorly and posteriorly of the clitellum to regain the continuous muscle cover across the worm diameter. The clitellar ring muscle strands in turn maintain their position, and their gaps are much narrower.</paragraph>

Achaeta neotropica Č ernosvitov, 1937, specimens from the Cachoeira Natural Reserve. A. Anterior nine segments, lateral view. Dorsal epidermal gland cells are conspicuous in optical horizontal body section (1), this trait is well-distinguished also in living specimens. The layer on top of the epidermal gland cells is cuticle (2). The prostomium has thickened epithelium (3). Beneath the prostomial papilla (4) there are two further lateral isolated areas with thickened epidermis (5). The distribution of perikarya is roughly as shown here. The segmental arrangement of the ventral nerve cord is obvious, and facilitates segment counting in stained specimens. This trait is inconspicuous in living material. The anterior intestinal region with thickened epithelium (6) extends from 1 / 2 VI - VII here; in following segments, the intestinal blood sinus is much widened (7). The large dorsal blood vessel (8) is not attached to the intestine; it is shown here only in the posterior segments, from VI on. The spermatheca (9) is confined to segment V in this specimen. 10: brain; 11: pharyngeal pad; 12: postpharyngeal bulbs; 13: pharyngeal gland of V; 14: nephridium of 6 / 7. B C. Two aspects of another specimen, anterior 7 segments, dorsal view. B: Epidermal gland cells. The ventral nerve cord marks the segments. C. Body interior, anteriorly with (1) dorsal recess in prostomial epithelium, prostomial papillae (2), brain (3), postpharyngeal bulbs (4). Only septa 4 / 5 and 5 / 6 are conspicuous. The spermathecae extend into VI. The thickened intestinal epithelium extends from 3 / 4 VI to 1 / 4 VIII. D E. Dorsal and ventral view of clitellar region, same specimens as in B-C. D shows only the body surface, E a combination of body surface (clitellum, male pore) and body interior (rest). The hyaline cells in the mid-dorsal region of the clitellum are segmental epidermal gland cells, not clitellar hyalocytes. The bodies ventrally of the nerve cord are testis (1) and ovary (2). F. Segments IV-VII of a specimen with elongate posterior ventral pharyngeal gland lobes, lateral view. The lobe on the left (here in front) is bipartite, with a smaller portion separate from the larger anterior part, the right gland (behind the left one here) is bent posteriorly. G. Segments IV-VII of the only specimen in the collection with a small circumferal diverticulum at the abrupt intestinal widening in the posterior of VI, lateral view. H. Segments XXVI XXVIII, lateral view, showing (1) posterior end of intestinal part tumida and two nephridia; the anterior one (to the left) is actually on the right side of the body. I. Posterior segments of a specimen with dorsally thick cuticle, lateral view, showing epidermal gland cell distribution. For orientation the lateral line is also drawn in. K. Caudal zone of a specimen with exceptionally thick cuticle dorsally. The break lines in the dorsal cuticle of I and K mark the outer segment boundaries; located at about 2 / 5 of a segment's length behind the inner segment boundary, marked by the septa. (1) growth zone, (2) post-segmental pygidium with anal musculature. L. Two coelomocytes, each about 25 µm long. The cell to the right had a brownish tint in vivo. M. Specimen with much enlarged sperm-related reproductive organs (segments IV XII, dorsal view). The spermathecae (1) extend into segment IX, the sperm funnels (2) into segment X; their collars are much elongated, attached sperm gives the aspect of a feather boa. One of the male copulatory organs is bilobed. Seminal vesicle and vasa deferentia omitted. L and M are freehand sketches from living specimens, the rest are from stained whole mounts.
