Genus Kathrynella Omodeo 1996 View in CoL

Type species: Kathrynella guyanae Omodeo 1996 View in CoL

Alluroidids with a cylindrical muscular atrium (euprostate); male pores paired, intraclitellar, opening ventrally and equatorial in XIV. Spermathecal pores a pair, opening in intersegmental furrow 6/7. Modified setae a and b in VII; grooved penial setae ventral in XIV. Circulatory apparatus strongly developed, showing in the anterior segments long lateral commissures between dorsal and ventral vessels rolled into a ball. Kathrynella View in CoL shares with Righiella View in CoL the metandric condition of the male apparatus. The presence of sperm sacs and the absence of glandular lining of the atria may also be diagnostic ( Omodeo & Coates, 2001).
