Amynthas daeari Blakemore 2013

Length. 150 mm. Width. ca. 7 mm at male pore level. Segments. 107. Colour. Brown in alcohol, possibly darker in life as liquid was stained. Prostomium. Open epilobous. First dorsal pore. 12/13. Setae. Ca. 60 per segment, approximately 22-24 between spermathecal and male pores. Nephropores. Not found. Clitellum. Annular 14-16, setae occluded. Male pores. On 18 centred on small, round porophore (found by following a pin from prostate gland exit) with GMs anterio-median and shallow clefts laterally (that function as seminal ducts and/or suction cups?). Female pores. Single on 14. Spermathecal pores. 6/7/8 ca 0.3 C apart at edge of puckered area and lateral to GMs. Genital markings. Paired discs just median to male and spermathecal pores as noted; composite glands on spermathecal pore GMs but none found for GMs near male pores although the body here is macerated and they may well have broken off and dissipated. Septa. Nephridial forests on septa 5 & 6; 7/8 thin, 8/9/10 aborted. Dorsal blood vessel (dbv). Single. Hearts. Last hearts in 13 (preceding vascularization unclear/damaged). Gizzard. Single in 8-9. Calciferous glands. Absent. Intestine. Indeterminate as specimen macerated; caeca ventrally incised from 27; typhlosole not noted. Nephridia. Meroic. Male organs. Holandric, seminal vesicles in 11 & 12. Ovaries. In 13 as usual. Prostates. Racemose glands in 17-19, duct short and muscular. Spermathecae. Two pairs in 7 and 8; that in 7lhs inflated, that in 8lhs deflated (showing how meaningless such a distinction is although relied on by some authors). Gut contents. Coarse organic debris, i.e., a litter diet suggesting superficial feeding.

Only known from a single specimen from type locality.
