Abstract: Four new species of terrestrial earthworms from the zebrus-group in the genus Amynthas Kinberg, 1867, are described from Nan province, north Thailand: Amynthas phatubensis sp. n., from Tham Pha Tub Arboretum, Amynthas tontong sp. n., from Tontong Waterfall, Amynthas borealis sp. n., from Chaloemprakiat district, and Amynthas srinan sp. n., from Srinan National Park.After comparing with the two closely related Laos species Amynthas chandyi Hong, 2008 and Amynthas namphouinensis Hong, 2008, the four new species … Show more

“…Several surveys of terrestrial earthworms in Thailand have been published (Gates 1939(Gates , 1972Somniyam & Suwanwaree 2009;Bantaowong et al 2011aBantaowong et al , 2011bBlakemore 2011;Bantaowong et al 2014), but many localities in Thailand and nearby areas and various types of microhabitats are still unexplored. Recently, Bantaowong et al (2014) summarized the knowledge about the Thailand earthworm fauna and reported 45 species.…”

“…The use of DNA sequences has increased in the recent past, because it is less subjective than morphological characters, allows for the analysis of several characters (Scotland et al 2003) and is applicable at all developmental stages (Decaëns et al 2013;Chang and James 2011). The molecular studies of earthworms that have used the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in integrative taxonomy have shown good results (Blakemore 2013a, b;Blakemore et al 2010;Bantaowong et al 2011;Huang et al 2007;King et al 2008;Rougerie et al 2009;Chang et al 2009;James et al 2010). This marker is able to distinguish the intra-and interspecific genetic variation and groups conspecifics together, because COI sequences are variable enough to differentiate between taxa, but are less variable in conspecifics (Rougerie et al 2009;Stoeckle and Hebert 2008;Valentini et al 2008).…”
