Dorsal blood vessel passes under the brain in I before dividing; the two forks pass around the buccal cavity and rejoin in V as a single ventral vessel. One pair of lateral, commissural blood vessels joins dorsal vessel in segments anterior to XII; each commissure strongly convoluted, and those in the first few segments usually enter the next segment before joining the ventral vessel (

Both anterior and posterior male funnels usually functional, with associated sperm. Both anterior and posterior vasa deferentia narrow (816 µm diameter). All four vasa deferentia join the atrial duct, running outside the muscle layer until the ampulla, where they gradually pass through the muscle layers (

specimens are distinguished from all variant populations by a penis formed of extruded atrial duct lining, and by the larger spermathecal vestibules. The atrium, the concave, epidermal pad and the accessory glands surrounding the male pore also are much larger and well developed, and the musculature surrounding both spermathecal and atrial ducts is also more extensive. The penis appears structurally similar to that of

Variant 1 is relatively widespread, with several records from the Coast Ranges of Oregon, two from small tributaries to Puget Sound in northern Washington, and two from northern Idaho. The wide but disjunct distribution of Variant 1 records precludes morphometric analysis that could rule out clinal variation in characters. An additional problem is that specimens from some sites were not well fixed, leading to possible artifacts. Given the persistent ambiguity in species limits between
