Distribution
Material examined. Holotype (H) NIBR IV0000261277 (mature, dissected, providing DNA sample - wo65) plus six sub-adults provisionally listed as paratypes (IV000061278) and a 'tail', all poorly-preserved in same batch from "2012-7-20 Dadal". Unidentifiable were ca. 20 specimens (IV0000261279) some having clitella ca. 24-33 and TP ca. 28-30, also poorly-preserved from crowding in a single tube, labelled "2012-7-21 Dadal". All specimens collected by NIBR's Mr T.-S. Park.

Description. Body medium sized, H 100 mm. Segments 170. Reddish pink anterior-dorsum to segment 15 otherwise unpigmented. Epilobous. Pale laterally around cd in 8-11 and slightly tumid ab on 11-12 and possibly somewhat on clitellum. First dorsal pore 4/5. Spermathecal pores in 9/10/11 mid-dorsally. Female and male pores slight, lateral of b setae on 14 and 15, respectively. Nephridia sporadically visible lateral of b lines near intersegments (at least on clitellum) otherwise near d lines? Clitellum, pale from 24 dorsally or laterally 25-33, i.e., 24,25-33. TP longitudinally lenticular lateral of b 28-31. External features rather unclear due to poor preservation.
