Dorylaimus carteri Bastian, 1865 .

This species is quite generally distributed in mountain soils. About thirty specimens are in the Longs Peak collection, the females apparently being identical to the type form. However only one male was present whereas males usually are about as numerous as the females. The tail of this specimen bore thickened areas between the preanal papillae that are not present in the type form. Fig. 7 c .

Posterior half of esophagus enlarged to three-fifths the neck width. Carida elongate-conoid. Front ovary on the right, the rear on the left, side of the body; they are reflexed one-half to two-thirds their length. Prerectum twice as long as the rectum. Fig. 7 a-c
