, considering the short, muscular vasa deferentia, the shape of the spermatheca with a short duct and a sac-like ampulla, and the spermathecal ental connection to the gut in mid V. These features could well be synapomorphies, testifying of a close evolutionary relationship. The rather uniform chaetal size throughout the body also suggests a close affinity between these three species. In contrast to the other two taxa, however, the penial bulb of
