Figures 36–39

MATERIAL EXAMINED: One specimen freeliving from Piara , Bolivia, approximately 14°47'74"S, 69°00'40"W, 2820 m, 4 November 1999, hand collected by Jaime Rodríguez, determination by M. Siddall. One specimen fixed in 95% ethanol, stored in 70% ethanol (deposited in Colleccion Boliviana de Fauna, La Paz, Bolivia, uncataloged).

The separation of male and female gonopores by two and a half annuli, and a biannulate somite IV is consistent with descriptions for this species ( Kennel, 1886; Ringuelet, 1972, 1980 a, 1981).
