EXILIGADA LONGICAUDA View in CoL SP. NOV.
( FIGS 5G View Figure 5 , 14A–C View Figure 14 , 15 View Figure 15 )
Holotype: AUSTRALIA, NT, VRD, 7 km east of Kirkimbie Station H /S, top of the cliffs along the stream, well-developed spinifex, 17°43 ′ 34 ′′ S, 129°18 ′ 36 ′′ E (coll. V. Kessner, 2.ix.2009; WA-84 /09) ( WAM S83169). GoogleMaps
Paratypes: AUSTRALIA, NT, VRD, same data as for holotype, one wet ( WAM S49228 View Materials ); east of Duncan Hwy , 37.7 km north-west of Kirkimbie Station H /S GoogleMaps ,
Remarks: Only two shells examined. Shell colour pattern very similar to shells of four congeners; to be distinguished from E. nodulicauda and E. negriensis by reduced number of spiral bands, from E. pallida by darker background, and from E. punctata by absence of maculations. Along with E. nodulicauda , only species with a coiled penis.
Penis length relative to width (pl/pw) almost two times the average and largest amongst congeners; epiphallus length relative to penis (el/pl) one third of average and smallest amongst congeners. Inner penial wall sculpture unique by consisting exclusively of tubercles. Vagina length relative to penis (vl/pl) larger than average and almost as large as in E. nodulicauda ; vagina length relative to free oviduct (vl/ ol) largest amongst congeners.
