Vas deferens usually joins the atrium within the sperm sacs in the anterior part of XI, near the beginning of the prostate layer; vas runs under the atrial muscle coat to join the atrial lumen at the ental end (

These areas, do, however, have some characteristics in common: poorly drained clay soils, accumulations of leaves in winter months, and a tendency to dry up during summer months. Both areas became completely dry prior to our 2008/2009 collections, suggesting this species may require a dry period in order to complete its life cycle. Large numbers of these worms were found in the headwaters of Bolin Creek and in Dry Gulch (a tributary of Bolin Creek), 0
