“…The genus is mainly distributed in the Solomon Islands, New Britain, Fiji, Samoa, and Philippines (Sims and Easton 1972). Although two genera Pithemera and Metaphire have been reported from various regions surrounding Sulawesi, for example, the Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, New Guinea and other parts of Indonesia (Ude 1905, 1932; Gates 1975; Benham 1897; Beddard 1899; Michaelsen 1899; Hong et al 2008; Nguyen et al 2016), they both have never been recorded in Sulawesi until this research.…”

Three new earthworm species are described from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Two belong to the genus Pithemera Sims & Easton, 1972, namely P.suwastikai Fahri, Amaliah & Atmowidi, sp. n. and P.tadulako Fahri, Amaliah & Atmowidi, sp. n. The new species, P.suwastikaisp. n. is distinguished by a medium size (135–165 mm long, 4.5–6.5 mm diameter), four pairs of spermathecal pores in 5/6/7/8/9, 7–12 setae between male pores, no genital markings, holandry, and simple intestinal caeca. Pithemeratadulakosp. n. is recognized by a large size (217–340 mm long, 13–15 mm diameter), two pairs of spermathecal pores in 7/8/9, no setae between male pores, no genital markings, holandry, and simple intestinal caeca. Another new species, Metaphirerusydii Fahri, Amaliah & Nguyen, sp. n., is diagnosed by its large size (250–280 mm long,12–16 mm diameter), two pairs of spermathecal pores in 7/8/9, no setae between male porophores, presence of genital markings in the male region, holandry, and complex intestinal caeca. Additionally, an identification key to “caecate” species is provided to the Sulawesi’s fauna.

Four new earthworms of the Amynthas aeruginosus species group (Oligochaeta: Megascolecidae) from Nam Xam NBCA, Laos. -Earthworm spécimens collected from the Nam Xam National Biodiversity Conservation Area. Laos belong to four new species of megascolecid earthworms: Amynthas banlaoensis sp. nov.. Amynthas khamlai sp. nov., Amynthas phadeangensis sp. nov., and Amynthas naphopensis sp. nov. Ail four new species key to the aeruginosus group in Sims & Easton (1972). defined by having spermathecal pores in 7/8/9 and simple intestinal caeca. Amynthas banlaoensis sp. nov. has maie pores superficial near latéral margins of XVIII in the 12 th setal Unes, on short columnar 0.3-0.5 mm diameter porophore. and tubercular génital markings paired in VII or VIII. Amynthas khamlai sp. nov. has maie pores on rétractable, eversible round porophores near the latéral margins of the ventrum in XVIII, and circular génital markings in paired postsetal linear groups of two or three on trailing edges of VII and VIII. Amynthas phadeangensis sp. nov. has maie pores on alate porophore swellings composed of concentric rings, with paired génital papillae medial to the maie porophores and embedded in the concentric rings. It has paired postsetal génital markings in 8 th -9 th setal lines of VIII and IX. Amynthas naphopensis sp. nov. has maie pores in small invaginations partly covered by raised U-shaped flap concave medially. and lacks other génital markings.
