Anaplectus granulosus (Bastian, 1865) de Coninck & Schuurmans Stekhoven, 1933 .

Dimensions:

Females (n = 4): L = 1.22-1.28 mm; a = 28-34; b = 4.5-5.0; c = 15 -16; V = 1 4 - 1651 - 53 1 2 - 1 7.

Males (n = 2): L = 0.83 -1. 14 mm; a = 29 - 3 5; b = 5.3- 5. 5; c = 14.

Length of tail equal to 3.0 - 3.7 anal body widths in the female, 2.3-2.5 in the male. Both males with three supplements, the distance between the two anterior ones distinctly longer than that between the second and third; the anterior supplement lies 1.1-1.4 tail lengths from the anus. The spicules measure 36 - 40 \L (along axis), the head is knobbed, distinctly wider than the following part. In spite of all these characteristics, the identity of these specimens is not wholly sure, because the lip region is not offset by constriction; it is low, continuous, composed of two annules, the anterior one narrower than the second (cf. Allen & Noffsinger, 1968).

Samples 2, 4, 64 and 65.
