Haven't located the data file yet. 5 males and 5 females; two of the males had 5 to 6mm flabby testes, flesh colored, conspicuous artery, and very long penis, something like 4mm wide, and with a long baculum ?10mm? Two of the females had scars. One female had a quite wide vagina, but not particularly muscular. Distance from anus to genital papilla was consistently something like 13 to 15 for males and 8 to 10 for females. Three of Bob Timm's parasites recovered from the killing bucket in which they were the only species. 88-04-25 f 88-04-26 f 88-04-27or29 f (two skulls labelled 27 and no 29) 88-04-28 f 88-04-29or27 f 88-04-30 m 88-04-31 m 88-04-32 m
