Metaphire peguana laisonensis Nguyen et al. 2017b: 900, fig. 12; Nguyen et al. 2021c: 105.
Pheretima sp. 11 – Nguyen 2013: 78, 2014: 111.
Type locality. Viet Nam (Kien Giang: Lai Son island) (Nguyen et al. 2017b)
Type material. Laboratory of Zoology, Department of Biology, Can Tho University (EW.087.01), Vietnam.
Diagnosis. Body cylindrical, length 62–114 mm, diameter 2.7–4.4 mm, segments 62–111. Prostomium epilobous. First dorsal pore at 12/13. Three pairs of spermathecal pores in lateral intersegments 6/7/8/9, bithecate. Two pairs of ellipsoid genital markings in xvii and xix, each genital marking with a small opening at the center. Male pores located inside copulatory pouches in xviii. Septum 10/11 only present ventrally. Intestinal caeca simple. Holandric, testis sacs separated. Accessory glands coelomic, strongly covered by muscular-walled bursae in 17/18 and 18/19.
Habitat. The subspecies were found numerously in leaf litters in natural forest (Nguyen 2014; Nguyen et al. 2017b).
Distribution. Only known in Vietnam (Kien Giang: Lai Son island; An Giang: Cam mountain) (Nguyen 2014; Nguyen et al. 2017b) (Fig. 3).
Remarks. Nguyen et al. (2017b) described a new subspecies, M. peguana laisonensis found in Lai Son Island (Kien Giang Province, Vietnam) based on the location of genital markings, spermathecal pores, and the attachment of the spermathecal diverticulum (Fig. 5) (Nguyen et al. 2017b). Previously, Nguyen (2013) identified samples collected from the Cam Mountain (An Giang Province) as M. bahli (Fig. 6), and observed that these samples have intermediate characters between M. bahli and M. peguana, for example, slit-shaped genital markings in xvii and xix, and the much laterally wider spermathecal pores (Nguyen 2013). The re-examination confirmed that specimens were definitely M. peguana laisonensis. There was a minor difference in the ending of the spermathecal diverticulum between the type specimens from Lai Son Island and samples collected from the Cam Mountain (An Giang Province) (attached directly to the base of the ampulla duct vs. attached to the middle of the ampulla duct).
Genetic distance of M. peguana laisonensis in Cam Mountain and M. peguana peguana was 12.2%±1.4%, and that distance with other Metaphire species was 12.9%±1.5% (with M. bahli (type I)) to 22.3%±2.1% (with M. grandiverticulata) (Table 4).

Rhipidipathes

description: Genus Rhipidipathes Milne-Edwards & Haime, 1857
Diagnosis. Corallum flabellate; anastomosing among some branches; polypar spines acute or blunt, smooth or tuberculate; circumpolypar spines slightly larger than interpolypar spines; hypostomal spines often equal to the circumpolypar spines but may be reduced in size or absent on some portions of the corallum.
Remarks. Although Rhipidipathes is currently in the Aphanipathidae, previous (Brugler et al. 2013; Bo et al. 2018; Terrana et al. 2021) and the present study indicate that the genus is more closely related to species in the Antipathidae. The present study suggests that Rhipidipathes shares a lineage with the genus Blastopathes Horowitz, 2020 (Fig 2). Both genera have distinct morphological differences. For example, Rhipidipathes consists of thin branches that can fuse to create flabellate “fan-like” colonies (Opresko 2004) and Blastopathes consists of thick, stem-like branches that do not fuse and possess branches that sprout from clusters to create “tree-like” colonies (Horowitz et al. 2020). Due to the differences between these “sister” genera, their family-level relationships need to be verified.
Type Species: Rhipidipathes reticulata (Esper 1795)
Type Locality: East Indian Ocean

(Figures 9–10, Table 3)
Metaphire doiphamon Bantaowong et al. 2016: 76, fig. 9; Nguyen et al. 2020: 5, 2021c: 105.
Pheretima sp.4 – Nguyen et al. 2012: 146; Nguyen 2013: 63, 2014: 110
Type locality. Thailand (Chiang Rai: Doi Phamon mountain range) (Bantaowong et al. 2016)
Type material. Chulalongkorn University Museum of Natural History (3391), Thailand.
Diagnosis. Body cylindrical, length 161–265 mm, diameter 6.2–7.6 mm, segment 99–146. Prostomium epilobous. First dorsal pore at 12/13. Three pairs of spermathecal pores in intersegments 6/7/8/9, bithecate. Male pores located inside copulatory pouches in xviii. Genital markings paired in vi–ix, and two pairs of disc-shaped ones, each with a small central opening, in intersegments 17/18 and 18/19. Septum 10/11 appeared only ventrally. Intestinal caeca simple or slightly serrated ventrally. Holandric, testis sacs separated or connected ventrally. Accessory glands coelomic, strongly covered by muscular-walled bursae in 17/18 and 18/19.
Habitat. The species was found in the depth of 15–20 cm in soils of natural forests or long-term tree plantations in the foot of mountains. They excreted their feces to create columns emerging from the soil surface (Nguyen 2014; Nguyen et al. 2020).
Distribution. Thailand (Bantaowong et al. 2016), Vietnam (An Giang: Cau, Nhon, Phu Cuong, and Co To mountains; Kien Giang: Phu Quoc island) (Nguyen 2014; Nguyen et al. 2021c) (Fig. 3).
Remarks. Metaphire doiphamon found in Vietnam was slightly different from the description of Bantaowong et al. (2016). Vietnamese specimens have genital markings with elliptical openings at the center while type specimens have pad-shaped genital markings without openings. Unfortunately, there are no molecular evidence to compare specimens from Vietnam and Thailand.
In Vietnam, Metaphire doiphamon also has two morphological forms. Individuals from the mainland (Fig. 9) has several differences from the one on islands (Phu Quoc Island) (Fig. 10) such as wider distance between spermathecal pores (0.40–0.50 vs. 0.27–0.35 body circumference), more setae between male pores (11–16 vs. 3–11 setae), status of testis sacs (connected vs separated), and the diverticulum ending (at the base of ampulla duct vs. attached to the middle of ampulla duct) (Table 3). In addition, the everted copulatory pouches were also recorded in specimens collected from islands.
The genetic distance between M. doiphamon and other Metaphire species was from 15.4%±1.7% (with M. bahli (I)) to 22.3%±2.0% (with M. posthuma) (Table 4).

COMMENTS: This Colombian species was only known from the municipality of Guarne, Antioquia; the female sex was previously known from a single paratype in poor condition.
FORAGING BEHAVIOR ON POTATO FLOWERS: Protandrena guarnensis was the only andrenid visiting flowers of S. tuberosum among 70 species of bees belonging to the other four families present in Colombia (Sepúlveda & Smith-Pardo, unpubl. data). Females of P. guarnensis visited a single flower per plant. About 86% of the observed visits (n = 35) of P. guarnensis on potato flowers were recorded between 11:00 and 13:00 hours, several hours after the anthesis occurred (6:00–7:00 h); remaining visits were recorded between 9:00 and 10:00 hours. To release pollen, females curled into a partial C-shape at the tip of the anthers and sonicated one to four anthers for durations of 9 to 180 seconds (= 78.2, ± 1.47, n = 7); only in half of the observed visits did females contact the stigma. To groom and pack pollen in their metatibial scopae, females gripped the apex of the anthers or style with their hind legs, and either maintained their bodies somewhat perpendicular to or leaned to the anthers, facing the corolla, while removing the pollen with their remaining four legs.
A palynological analysis of the pollen taken from the metatibial scopae of 15 specimens collected at flowers of potatoes showed that on average 80.3% (± 0.36, n = 60 plates) of the pollen grains belonged to this plant; remaining grains belonged to undetermined species of the families Asteraceae, Melastomataceae, and Malvaceae (N. Osorio, pers. comm.).

Type species. Armandia cirrhosa Filippi, 1861: 219, by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Body elongated, not divided into distinct regions; ventral groove and two lateral grooves from chaetiger 2 to posterior end. Segments annulated. Prostomium conical, sometimes with terminal palpode; subdermal eyespots; a pair of large, eversible nuchal organs. Single and cirriform branchiae from chaetiger 2. Sometimes one or several posterior segments abranchiate. Segmental lateral eyes present between parapodia. Parapodia with prechaetal lobe, ventral lobe and sometimes a dorsal cirrus. Noto- and neuropodial lappets absent. Interramal ciliated organ present sometimes. Noto- and neuropodial small fascicles of simple capillary chaetae. Pygidium with conspicuous expansion—anal (pygidial) tube (funnel)—of variable shape, usually bearing internally attached midventral cirrus, marginal papillae and sometimes a basal pair of papillae.
Diagnosis modified from Uebelacker (1984) and Blake (2000) by introducing a more detailed description of parapodial and anal tube characters, and confirming the presence of a parapodial ciliated sensorial organ in the parapodial prechaetal lobe.

description: genus Agnioides Breuning, 1956
Agnioides Breuning, 1956: 671. Type species: Agnioides striatopunctatus Breuning, 1956, by original designation.
Paragniopsis Breuning, 1965: 59. Type species: Paragniopsis ochraceomaculata Breuning, 1965, by original designation. Synonymized by Roguet, 2017: 104.
Paragniopsis: Rondon & Breuning, 1970: 445.
Agnioides: Löbl & Smetana, 2010: 276.
Distribution. China, Laos, India.
Remarks. The genus Agnioides Breuning, 1956 contains only one species which was described from a male specimen from India, while the genus Paragniopsis Breuning, 1965 contains a unique species which was described from a female specimen from Laos. After the comparison of the two holotypes and other specimens from China, we agree with Roguet (2017) that Paragniopsis ochraceomaculata Breuning, 1965 is a junior synonym of Agnioides striatopunctatus Breuning, 1956 and the genus Paragniopsis is a junior synonym of Agnioides.
