discussion
In my material also a very faded female and an adult specimen o f a Monhysterid were recorded, which in the shape of the h e a d (buccal cavity, lateral organs) a n d the tail seem t o agree r a the r well w i t h this marine saprophagous species. The cuticle is smooth and the head is rounded, provided with very short, submedian bristles. Buccal c a v i t y small, funnel-shaped. Lateral organs situated 15 / z behind the front end, probably rounded. (Esophagus short, posteriorly gradually thickened. The elongated, pyrifbrm, granulated ventral gland is situated only a short distance behind the (esophagus and is provided with a central nucleus. The tail is short, conical and contains in the anterior half three large glands with central nuclei. I t is provided with a short, conical end tip. Egg cells large.
