Description

It was found at Las Cruces in a leaf pile in a small pool on the Rio Java. The day before (14June13) we received heavy rainfall. It was obviously in bad shape, but due to the size, mottled venter, distance between annuli, and coloration I believe it to be D. gracilior based on Savage 2002. Of course it may be impossible to properly ID without the head... any ideas are much appreciated!
