Eisenia fetida

Description

10. Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826)

Material. NIBR-IV 0000261291 (DNA sample H6), a mature specimen collected 26 th April, 2013 from Jungang Park beside a walking trail.

Description. Body has ‘classic’ transversely coloured stripes alternating with pale intersegments; also pale laterally in 8,9-11,12. Clitellum 26-31,32; TP on 28-30.

Remarks. Part of the species-complex (Fig. 1 and Appendix), agreeing 100% with GenBank sample (FJ214216) from “ Denmark: Svendborg”. Obviously this specimen differs from some Korean samples variously named “ E. fetida ” or “ E. andrei ” - see Blakemore (2013a: 42; 2013b: 64) and recent Mongolian work (Blakemore, 2013c). True identity and status of specimens/taxa remains unclear, requiring further work (Blakemore in prep.).
