Very similar t o P geophilus de Man in the shape o f the buccal c a v i t y and rather cylindrical tail. It differs, however, from that species in the slender, more elongated bristles a n d in the lateral organs being situated at a greater distance behind the front end than de Man figured them. The oesophagus seems to be evenly elongated as in the specimen, figured b y de Man.
