Eiseniella neapolitana (Örley, 1885)

( Fig. 7 .)

Eiseniella neapolitana f. ninnii: Omodeo 1952: 5. Tatvan, Diyarbak ı r.

Remarks: Eis. neapolitana is regarded by some authors as a subspecies of Eis. tetraedra but the typical synapomorphy of the tetraedra group (the female pores open below setae a) is not shared by Eis. neapolitana ; therefore its specific rank ( Omodeo & Rota 2004) is supported here.
