Drawida sp. 3

Blakemore, Robert J., Lee, Seunghan & Seo, Hong-Yul, 2014, Reports of Drawida (Oligochaeta: Moniligastridae) from far East Asia, Journal of Species Research 3 (2), pp. 127-166 : 153

26. Drawida sp. 3 “ Jeju 2”

Drawida sp. 2 (cf. D. koreana ) Blakemore, 2013: 21.

Material examined. IV0000249942 mature specimen 80 mm long, undissected, from under bridge on Rt. 516, Mt Halla, 12 th June, 2012 collected by RJB, (DNA sample WO 44 was mixed in the lab, resampled as w17). IV000 0249943, two similar semi-matures undissected, possibly the same taxon, from the same location.

Remarks. As noted by Blakemore (2013a), because these specimens were blue coloured they were considered similar to Drawida koreana but DNA indicates distant relationship and, on current information, they may be separat- ed from other similar taxa. They remain unidentified pending analysis of D. koreana from the mainland. DNA data in the Appendix show wide separation from other Jeju samples, possibly indicating an exotic introduced to the island.
