Fridericia seoraksani Christensen & Dózsa-Farkas, 2012

( Figure 12 , D,E)

This species was published as new for the enchytraeid fauna of Korea by Christensen & Dózsa-Farkas (2012). We found specimens at sites 1, 8, 11 and 12, their morphology corresponded to the original description ( Fig. 12 D–E). However, molecular results show that F. seoraksani is possibly a species complex (see below, discussion).
