description: 1. Metaphire californica (Kinberg, 1867) (Fig. 2A).
Pheretima californica (part) Kinberg, 1867: 102 [part. excl. Megascolex indicus Horst, 1883 (= A. corticis - see Easton, 1981: 49)]. [Type locality Sausolita Bay, California. Types from San Francisco in the Stockholm Museum: 160. Often misdated “1866”].
Material. IV 0000261354 (DNA HY17) mature, dissected, collected from Yeomiji Botanical Gardens, Seogwipo, Jeju by RJB 5 th Sept., 2013 along with several Amynthas gracilis (Kinberg, 1867) specimens and an Amynthas cf. corticis (HY19 below).
Distribution. Widespread cosmopolitan, origin unknown; first record from Korea, also Jeju, by Blakemore (2012 et al. IV0000246440 beside Temple at Mt Sanbangsan, providing DNA sample WM15); see also Blakemore (2013a) (Saeseum Island sample providing DNA WO58).
Description. Full details and distribution provided by Blakemore (2012f) “ Cosmopolitan Earthworms ”, including specimens collected by the author from Tokyo and Nagasaki, Japan.
Remarks. Blast results for DNA sample HY17 gave 100% Metaphire californica (AY960810.1 from Taiwan) or 98% “ Metaphire schmardae ” [EF032610 - probable misidentification from China (as in Latin America!) of M. californica rather than actual Duplodicodrilus schmardae (Horst, 1883) from Japan], whereas HY17 vs. LK172-3 (M. californica from Lake Biwa, Japan)=616/616 (100%); plus HY17 vs. WM15 from Jeju=617/617 (100%) and HY17 vs. W34 (redo of WO58 from Saeseum Island, Jeju) also agrees 100%. Thus my M. californica from Japan is confirmed the same as from Jeju, Korea.

description: Amynthas cf. corticis (Kinberg, 1867) (Fig. 2B).
Perichaeta corticis Kinberg, 1867: 102. [Type locality Oahu, the main Hawaii Island. Types in the Stockholm Museum: 1947, possibly immature] (part.?).
? Megascolex (Perichaeta) diffringens Baird, 1869: 40, figs. 1-3. [From Y Plas Machynlleth, Wales, UK. Type in British Museum: BMNH 1869:1:2:1 inspected by author (Blakemore, 2013d: fig. 9)].
Material. IV 0000261360 (DNA HY19), a mature specimen from Yeomiji Botanical Gardens, Seogwipo, Jeju collected by RJB 5 th Sept., 2013. Unfortunately, IV 0000261287, a mature specimen collected 25 th April, 2013 from Dongnae Botanic Gardens, Busan with DNA tissue sample HY3 as described by Blakemore (2013: 132) failed to yield results on second attempt and cannot be characterized further.
Distribution. Widespread cosmopolitan, origin unknown, recorded from mainland Korea, e.g., Blakemore (2013: 103, figs. 4-7), also from Jeju, e.g., by Blakemore (2012a: 26, fig. 7) [many specimens but please note: six specimens in sample IV0000251209 were mislabelled in Blakemore (2012: 26) as “IV0000251208”].
Description. Full details and distribution provided by Blakemore (2012f) “ Cosmopolitan Earthworms ”, compared to A. corticis saeseum Blakemore, 2012a: 26, fig. 7 and to A. diffringens (Baird, 1869) by Blakemore (2013d).
Remarks. The current specimen’s sample HY19 appears to conform to A. corticis group- 1 in the phylogram of Blakemore (2013: 101, fig. 1), e.g., 100% agreement with WM7 (A. corticis from Arataki Honey, N.Z.), “ Amynthas corticis ” (DQ224190.1 from Taiwan) and 100% “ Amynthas diffringens ” (EF077548.1, EF077550.1 from China), also with w59 (A. corticis from Incheon)=639/ 639 (100%) but differs slightly from w25 (“ A. diffringens?” from Jeju)=635/639 (99%). The current dissected sample agrees superficially with A. diffringens type as figured by Blakemore (2013d: fig. 9) and thus may be taken as representative of this taxon.
Moreover, HY19 differs substantially from A. corticis group-2 taxa such as WM9 (A. corticis from Korea)= 597/640 (93%) and w33 (A. c. saeseum from Jeju)=597/ 639 (93%) also with JET020 and JET055 both from Japan =597/639 (93%) needing further clarification.

Nitocris gracilis Kinberg, 1867: 102. [Type locality Rio de Janeiro. Types in Stockholm Museum, immatures (Sims & Easton, 1972: 214)]; synonymy in Blakemore (2012f).
Material. IV0000261351 (DNA HY14), mature, dissected; from Seonimgyo Bridge over Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls near Botanic Gardens, Seogwipo collected by RJB 5 th Sept. 2013 found stranded on footpath at dusk; 261352 (DNA HY15) mature, ditto location but in drainage channel for rice paddy aqueduct beside footpath over the bridge; 261353 (DNA HY16), mature dissected, from Yeomiji Botanical gardens with other matures (261355- 358).
Distribution. Widespread cosmopolitan, origin unknown, tentatively reported from Jeju by Blakemore (2012a: 26, fig. 8A) (IV0000251208 beside Cheonji-yeon Falls providing DNA sample w63); see also A. gracilis insularum Blakemore, 2012a: 28, fig. 8B from same Jeju locality (providing DNA samples WO55, resampled as w31 and cf. w63 that both comply with “ A. gracilis ” from Ogasawara Islands, Japan - see Appendix).
Description. Full details and distribution provided by Blakemore (2012f) “ Cosmopolitan Earthworms ”, compared to A. gracilis insularum Blakemore 2012a: 28, fig. 8.
Remarks. Blast results for all three samples HY14-16 agree 100% with Amynthas gracilis (Genbank AB5424 89.1 - mistakenly cited previously as AB542589.1 - from Kagoshima on Kyushu and AB542491.1 from Yona, Okinawa; also JX177860 from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), whereas HY14 vs. w31 and/or W63 (Appendix) have only 98% similarity. This taxon can reasonably be accepted as the proper confirmation of A. gracilis gracilis from Jeju and Korea and conforms to a basal A. gracilis group shown in phylogram of Blakemore (2013a: 101, fig. 1).

Amynthas tokioensis (Beddard, 1892) confirmed from the type by Blakemore (2010: fig. 2) with full synonymy provided in Blakemore (2012f).
Perichaeta tokioënsis Beddard, 1892b: 762. [Published December, 1892 according to Michaelsen, 1900: 272]. [From Japan (probably Tokyo as in “tokioensis”). Holotype in British Museum: BMNH: 1904.10.5.166 inspected by Sims & Easton, 1972: 181, 191 and reinspected and refigured by RJB when on loan to YNU in October, 2004 and again in NHM, London in June, 2013; the specimen was 65 mm long with 67 segments but looks like a posterior amputee as the last segment has setae and is blunt rather than tapering. It is brownygrey in preservative and the clitellum is darker. The specimen had been dissected by Beddard and was slightly damaged: spermathecae in 8 were removed, only one remained in the jar that I put in a calcium vial along with a detached diverticulum, also the glands from 7 rhs seemed to have been removed, as was 18 lhs prostate].
Distribution. Japan and Korea; also reported from North America [by Gates (1954: 231) and as Metaphire levis (Goto & Hatai, 1899) by Easton (1981: 53), sometimes incorrectly as “ Metaphire levis (Horst, 1893) ”, and possibly as Amynthas vittatus (Goto & Hatai, 1898)].

Material. IV0000261361 (DNA HY20) a pale mature from Jeju Town, Jeju Island by RJB 7 th Sept. 2013, found with IV0000261362 two dark matures identified as “ A masatakae / tralfamadore ”.
Distribution. Jeju Island and introduced to NIBR facility in Incheon (type-locality).
Description. Pale specimen with extra pair GMs in 9/10 otherwise complies with descriptions in Blakemore (2012d: 143, figs. 1, 7; 2013a: 35, fig. 9B-C).
Remarks. Blast result for HY20 gave 95% “ Amynthas robustus ” (Genbank AB542534 - a likely misidentification from Japan), whereas HY20 vs WO2 (A. tralfamadore Holotype) Id=619/621 (99%), i.e., tolerably the same taxon. Also HY20 vs w29 (A. tralfamadore smaller specimen from Jeju, redo of WO53) Id=618/621 (99%) and HY20 vs w30 (A. tralfamadore pale specimen from Jeju)=619/621 (99%). Thus species confirmed from northern Jeju too.

description: 7. Metaphire ryunome Blakemore, 2012
Material. IV 0000261294 (DNA HY2) from Jungang Park, Busan by RJB 26 th April, 2013.
Distribution. Japan (Lake Biwa, Shiga-ken), Busan, Korea and “ China ” where it seems misidentified as “ Amynthas incongruous ”. Thus possibly widespread of unknown origin.
Description. Provided by Blakemore (2012: 145, fig. 10; 2013: 311, fig. 4B).
Remarks. Blast results gave 99% “ Amynthas incongruous ” (Genbank EF077551 - a misidentification from China). Comparing HY2 vs. M. ryunome Holotype from Hikone, Japan (Tokyo An-457, JET108) results: Id.= 653/653 (100%), i.e., same taxon. Its wide distribution allows concession to yield to an as yet unknown species originating from Asia. Note: These latter data were not shown in Blakemore (2013b: 129, fig. 1 phylotree).

description: 11. Amynthas bangtaesan bangtaesan Blakemore sub-sp. nov. (Fig. 6A).
Material. IV0000261300 (DNA sample HY4) mature, rather poorly preserved, sketched and dissected from Bangtaesan Mt. (37̊55′25.30′′N 128̊23′48.42′′E), collected by Dr H.-Y. Seo, 11 th July, 2013. Found with two specimens noted under Amynthas cf. chiakensis above.
Etymology. Named after type locality (noun in apposition).
Description. Dorsum distinctly puce but slightly translucent, ventrum paler. Length 63 mm with 83 segments tapering to tail. Reddish-brown dorsum. Epilobous. First dorsal pore 13/14 (i.e., at start of clitellum). Perichaetine with ca. 50-60 setae. Clitellum 14-16. Spermathecae in 6/7/8 laterally with row of six or seven GM papilla below and median to each pore. Female not found (minute). Male pores small, simple and superficial with ca. 16 setae intervening; above and below and moving ventrally from each porophore are rows of papillae, there being one row above with six or seven papillae and two below with eight to ten total. Spermathecal ampullae saccular with clavate diverticulum on thick muscular duct. Prostates racemose on straight muscular duct. GM glands correspond internally to the GM papillae. Seminal vesicles large in 11 and 12. Caeca manicate in 27.
Remarks. The nearest match for HY9 on Genbank is “ Megascolecidae sp. ” (sic) (AB607052.1) 86%. From the current study, HY4 vs. HY9=610/613 (99%) which is particularly close. It is similar yet differs from Amynthas gucheonensis (Song & Paik, 1970) in its markings which are closer to the spermathecae and only above the male pores in the latter. The type-locality for that species was Gucheon Valley on Geojedo Island and also from Mt Sopaik (or Sobaeksan?) on the mainland. The current taxon, more so than Song & Paik’s, is similar to what may reasonably be expected for a sexual form of Amynthas vittatus (Goto & Hatai, 1898) although they compared their taxon to A. tappensis (Ohfuchi, 1935).

description: 12. Amynthas bangtaesan confinius Blakemore sp. nov. (Fig. 6B).
Material. IV 0000261312 (DNA sample HY9) mature, sketched and dissected from Jeombongsan Mt, (37̊01′ 16.39′′N 128̊25′6.36′′E), collected by Dr H.-Y. Seo, 25 th July, 2013; IV 0000261313, superficially similar mature, same details.
Etymology. Latin ‘ confinius ’ (adj. m) implying “adjoining, contiguous or allied” for its location from neighboring Jeombongsan and similarity to nominal species.
Description. Length 62-80 mm with 89 segments tapering to tail. Reddish-brown dorsum. Epilobous. First dorsal pore 12/13. Perichaetine with 50-60 setae. Clitellum 14-16. Spermathecae in 6/7/ 8 in lateral dark patches with transverse row of six or seven GM papilla below and median to each pore. Female pore single, central on clitellum. Male pores in dark round patches that taper medially and are ringed with papillae; above each porophore is another patch of GMs each with about a dozen papillae in two rows. Spermathecal ampullae deflated with clavate diverticulum on muscular duct. Prostates racemose on U-shaped muscular duct. GM glands correspond internally to the GM papillae. Seminal vesicles large in 11 and 12. Caeca manicate in 27. Gut contains organic matter.
Remarks. The nearest match for HY9 on Genbank is only 88% for Metaphire communissima (AB542620.1 from Japan). Morphologically distinct from the previous sub-species with regards to its dorsal pore commencement, the distribution of the GMs and possibly on the form of the prostate duct (U-shaped vs. straight), the molecular difference of HY4 vs. HY9 is slight 610/613 (~99%) suggesting only sub-specific or ecotypic status. There may be other differences in behavior or morphology that would require further field-collection and study.

description: 13. Amynthas seoraksan seoraksan Blakemore sub-sp. nov. (Fig. 7A).
Material. IV 0000261306 (Holotype DNA sample HY7 - nil results) mature, sketched and dissected from Seoraksan Mt, (38̊06′21.34′′N 128̊24′37.52′′E), collected by Dr H.-Y. Seo, 26 th July, 2013. Sample also contained an immature Amynthas sp. and an immature blue Drawida sp. (both in IN 0000261307).
Etymology. After the type locality (noun in apposition).
Description. Length 80 mm with 86 segments. Bright red dorsum and pale ventrum, body somewhat transparent and tapers to tail. Epilobous. First dorsal pore 12/13. Perichaetine with ca. 40-50 setae. Clitellum 14-16. Spermathecae in 6/7/ 8 in lateral dark patches with tone or two GM papilla below and median to each pore. Female pore minute not found on clitellum. Male pores in setal arc within dark elongate patches containing two rows of six papillae above one or two below just medial and above each porophore; about twenty-one setae intervene between the male pores. Spermathecal ampullae saccular with clavate diverticulum on bulbous duct with GM glands nearby. Prostates racemose on bent muscular duct with glands correspond internally to the GMs. Seminal vesicles large in 11 and 12. Caeca manicate in 27.
Remarks. As with A. bangtaesan described above, the current species is somewhat similar to Amynthas gucheonensis Song & Paik, 1970 from Gu-cheon Valley on Geoje Island (type locality) and Mt Sopaik on the mainland, relatively distant locations possibly accounting for supposed variability actually due to the combination of different taxa. Their species was described as similar to A. tappensis - both having GMs in spermathecal and male fields but differing in body length and spermathecal shape. Nevertheless, type descriptions differ in many small factors, mostly noticeably by lacking the bulbous spermathecal diverticula which also differentiates from A. s. iti. Unfortunately two attempts to extract and sequence DNA failed to yield genetic results, thus fresh material is required.

Material. IV0000261316 (Holotype DNA sample HY11) mature, sketched and dissected from Jeombongsan Mt, (37̊01′16.39′′N 128̊25′6.36′′E), collected by Dr H.-Y. Seo, 25 th July, 2013; IV0000261317 (Paratype), superficially similar mature, same details; plus sample contained a mature M. hilgendorfi specimen IV0000261315 with everted male pores (confirming its correct allocation to genus Metaphire). Other sample batch with same details contains three specimens (IV0000216318-20) that agree superficially except they may have three instead of two papillae in 7 and 8, the longest is 120 mm; two other samples are IV0000216321 and sympatric specimen described successively below.
Etymology. Derived from Morse code for its spermathecal markings: “.. - ..”=ITI.
Description. Length 111 mm (both H & P). Reddish iridescent dorsum body tapers to tail. Epilobous. First dorsal pore 12/13. Perichaetine with 50-60 setae. Clitellum 14-16. Spermathecae in 6/7/8 just above intersegment in lateral dark patches with transverse row of two sets of two GM papilla below and median to each pore (sets of two and three in some specimens). Female pore single, central on clitellum. Male pores just behind setal line in dark elongate patches two rows of about six papillae above and medial to each porophore. Spermathecal ampullae deflated with clavate diverticulum on muscular duct and GM glands nearby. Prostates racemose on muscular duct. GM glands correspond internally to the male GM papillae. Seminal vesicles large in 11 and 12. Caeca manicate in 27.
Remarks. The nearest Blast result for HY11 is also just 87% for Metaphire communissima (Genbank AB542623.1 from Hyogo-ken, Japan), and HY11 vs. HY9=568/653 (87%).
Distinctive characters of A. iti are the markings that also resemble nesting birds (see figure) and the slightly off-line position of the spermathecal and male pores. DNA data helps confirm this identity amongst taxa tested.

description: 15. Amynthas punicans Blakemore sp. nov. (Fig. 8).
Material. IV0000261322 (Holotype DNA sample HY12) mature, sketched and dissected from Jeombongsan Mt, (37̊01′16.39′′N 128̊25′6.36′′E), collected by Dr H.-Y. Seo, 25 th July, 2013. Five other samples noted above (IV0000216318-21).
Etymology. Latin punicans (adj.) meaning “blushing” or “reddish” referring to the colour.
Description. Length 69 mm with 100 segments (H). Brightest red iridescent dorsum, body tapers. Epilobous open. First dorsal pore 12/13. Perichaetine with ca. 50 setae. Clitellum weak 14-16. Spermathecae in 5/6/7 lateral. Female pore single on 14. Male pores on small hemicircular porophores equatorially with about a dozen setae intervening and medial to each porophore a small GM disc.
Septa 8/9/10 are aborted. Spermathecal ampullae smallish sacs on muscular duct with long zig-zagging, inseminated spermathecal diverticula. Testis 10 & 11; seminal vesicles large in 11 & 12. Ovaries small and not determined. Last heart in 13. Prostates racemose on circular muscular duct. GM glands not noted. Oesophagus dilated in 12-13 with intestine in 15. Caeca single with indented trailing edge in 27. Gut contains organic soil.
Remarks. The nearest Blast result for HY12 is just 87% for Amynthas tappensis (AB542548.1 from Osaka, Japan). Distinctive characters of A. pumitans are the spermathecal pores in 5/6/7, a character shared with A. fibulus Kobayashi (1936) and A. kobayashii Kobayashi (1938). The first is similar in its serrated caecum but it lacks GMs in 18 and the spermathecae are small and straight as with A. geojeinsulae Song & Paik (1970); the second has very different male pores and a smooth caecum and can be compared and A. gyeryongensis Hong & Kim, 2002 that also has short spermathecal diverticula. Other known species in Korea with spermathecae in or near 5/6/7 all have male pores in seminal grooves and small diverticula. The DNA data again helps this identity.

description: 16. Amynthas centurio Blakemore sp. nov. (Fig. 9).
Material. IV0000261303 (Holotype DNA sample HY6 - nil results) mature, sketched and dissected from Bangtaesan Mt, (37̊55′25.30′′N 128̊25′48.42′′E), collected by Dr H.-Y. Seo, 11 th July, 2013. Sample also contained seven specimens (IV000261304) of three mature M. hilgendorfi and three blue Drawida sp. matures plus an immature. A second container had many specimens but was overcrowded so preservation was poor, all allocated IV 000261305.
Etymology. Latin centurio (m noun) for “one hundred” loosely referring to the markings.
Description. Length 65 mm with 92 segments. Reddish dorsum and pale ventrum, body somewhat transparent. Open epilobous. First dorsal pore 12/13. Perichaetine with ca. 40 setae. Clitellum 14-16 slightly darker. Spermathecae in 6/7/8 laterally ca. 0.5 circumference apart with ca. 18 GM papilla in a row just below intersegmental furrow between each pore. Female pore central on 14. Male pores in setal line on small circular porophore on 18 with a semi-circle of papillae median to each pore and four rows of numerous GM papillae numbering more than sixty. Spermathecal ampullae saccular and slight on short duct with small clavate diverticulum; glands match GMs. Prostates racemose on S-bent muscular duct with glands internally to the GMs. Seminal vesicles large in 11 & 12. Caeca manicate in 27.
Remarks. The most distinctive characteristic of the current species from cohorts is the arrangement of GMs numbering about one hundred small papillae in 7/8, 8/9 and especially between the male pores on 18. The shape of the spermathecae and manicate caeca are also indicative. DNA sequencing was unforthcoming but morphology alone defines this species.

Material examined
PORTUGAL: 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, Coimbra, Serra da Estrela, 1900 m, 9 Jul. 1979. G. Osella leg. (MCSNV).
Comments
The examined specimens agree perfectly with the original description, type material and with neartopotypes examined by HE [Spain, Cantabria, Parque Nacional de los Picos de Europa, Fuente de El Cable, 22 Sep. 2014, V. Ortuño leg., (ZMUC)], and are the only ones of this species recorded from Portugal.
Ommatoiulus martensi was described from Santander in Spain, together with another species, Ommatoiulus haackeri Mauriès, 1969 from Col du Pourtalet in France at ca 435 km distance (Mauriès 1969). Both species have subsequently been identified from several localities in Western Pyrenees in Spain (O. martensi) and from northern Spain and the Basque country (O. haackeri). These two species have nearly the same gonopod configuration with main differences lying in 1) shape of the apical process of the promerite; 2) length of the distal process of solenomerite and 3) shape of the lateral process of the paracoxite (Mauriès 1969). After examination of several specimens we have failed to assign some of them to either haackeri or martensi with certainty. However, we assign the Portuguese species to O. martensi though a revision of the taxonomy of both (nominal) species is planned for a revision of the genus Ommatoiulus of northern Spain.

Material examined
PORTUGAL: Syntype, gonopods, slide preparation (ZMB13086) herewith designated as lectotype of Julus oliveirae; 3 ♂♂, 3 ♀♀, 1 slide preparation, undetermined locality, Paulino d’Oliveira leg. (NHMW 8044); 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, Setúbal District, Grândola, under stones, in grassland, 3 Nov. 1986, P. Bailey leg. (ZMUC).
Diagnosis
Most similar to O. armatus and O. dorsovittatus in the voluminous solenomerite with lobes and a serrated furrow, the presence of a lateral notch on the promerite and the reduced paracoxite. Different in the distal part of the mesomerite, promerite and a more slender shape of the solenomerite and paracoxite.
Descriptive notes
Promerite simple, in posterior view gradually narrowing in its distal half, apex rounded and lateral margin shallowly incised (Fig. 17 A, C); mesomerite (Ms) large, extending beyond the rest of the processes, curved laterad and distally expanding into two oppositely directed processes (Fig. 17 B, D); solenomerite (S) with a main process reaching ¾rd of mesomerite length, marginally strongly serrated, apically with a rounded lobe covered with short spines and a small pointed accessory process (Fig. 17 D), paracoxite (Px) slender, almost as long as solenomerite (Fig. 17 B, D) and emerging from a broad coxa (Cx).
Distribution
PORTUGAL: Coimbra (Verhoeff 1893b); Setubal Province, Grândola where it is sympatric with O. moreleti and O. lusitanus (Bailey & De Mendonça 1990).
Additional records (Kime, pers. comm.): Faro Province, West of Monchique, in cork litter, 29 Sep. 1987, P.T Bailey.
Habitat
Abundant in Quercus litter but also found in Cistus litter, also occurring in grasslands (Bailey & De Mendonça 1990), syntopic with O. moreleti and O. lusitanus.
