specimens were examined, including 16 mounted specimens and 4 serial section specimens. The head of the new species is arc-shaped. A pair of spherical-shaped testes is located in both sides posterior to the pharynx. The male copulatory system has no granular vesicle. The mature individuals have testes with a large number of mature sperm. The female copularoty system has no genitor-intestinal duct. The paired oviducts and the paired vitelline ducts fuse into a common oviduct ventral-posteriorly and enters the copulatory atrium. The immature individuals have ovaries but no testis, suggesting that the female copulatory system develops earlier than the males. Its morphological characteristics are distinct from those of the
