Cuticle with fine transverse striations, the alae in addition to these transverse striations having a lonm- tudinal line dividing them in two halves, the outer half more deeply colored. Two papillae at anterior insertion of alae. Mouth (fig. 270#) with 2 tri-lobed lateral lips, the median lobe having a small tooth, the lateral lobes a finelv denticulated edge. Length of esophagus 1/7 that of the Fig. 270.—Hartertia rotundata. a, Head, ventral view ; b, male tail. Sbubat, 1914 Aft etc Male 35 to 37 mm. long by G60/* wide.
