Thanks Rowland

With those striations
might this also be Ophyiulus pilosus?

maybe
but I never took a shot of the rear end, and in Tony's picture of Ophyiulus pilosus that seemed to be one thing to look at.

This is an introduced Europea
This is an introduced European species of the family Julidae, order Julida. It could be Ophyiulus pilosus or one of the 6-8 or so species of Cylindroiulus that have been introduced into North America, there is no way to tell from these photos. O.p. has a long, spine-like "epiproct" at the caudal end of the body that protrudes behind all the segments,which is the easy way to distinguish this species; Cylindroiulus lacks this.
