Metaphire prava mungxenensis ( Thai & Tran, 1986)

Pheretima prava mungxenensis Thai & Tran, 1986: 11, fig. 4B; Samphon 1990: 102; Do 1994: 109; Thai 2000a: 310; Pham 2010: 63.

Metaphire prava mungxenensis— Blakemore 2007a: 82; Blakemore 2008b.

Type locality. Vietnam (Nghe An: Ky Son ).

Type material. SORC, Vietnam.

Examined material. 1 C (SORC-HV.085) Ta Ca, Ky Son, Nghe An, 1/1/1986 ; 3 C (SORC-PV.085.02) same locality, but 15/6/1985; 12 C and 3 A (CTU-EW.073.01) Hoa Son, Ky Son , Nghe An, 6/1985, all coll. Tran Ba Cu.

Records from Vietnam. Nghe An (Ky Son) ; Da Nang (Ba Na NP) ( Thai & Tran 1986; Do 1994; Pham 2010).

Distribution. Laos ( Samphon 1990).

Vietnamese name. Giun prava mường xén.

Remarks. The subspecies is different from M. prava prava in spermathecal pores located further from dorsal line, more post-clitellar setae ( Thai & Tran 1986). Blakemore (2007a, 2008b) considered it as " species inquirenda ". Material was re-examined and presence of male copulatory pouches and hence placement of the species in Metaphire is confirmed here.
