Abstract

During the expedition of Uileunsdo Islands, Korea in September 2-4, 2004, a total of seven species were recognized. Of these, one species Amynthas dageletensis sp. nov. is described as new to science. Amynthas degeletensis sp. nov. lacks spermathecal pore, spermathecae, prostates, and male pore. These characteristics are systematically important and unique to the species among Korean members of Amynthas. Description of the new species is provided, including illustrations of ventral view and male pore region.

2004년 9월 2일부터 4일까지 울릉도의 5개 지점을 조사한 결과 7종 256개체를 채집하였다. 그 결과 왕지렁이속의 1신종을 확인하여 보고한다. 울릉도왕지렁이 (Amynthas dageletensis sp. nov.)는 저장낭구멍. 저장낭, 전립선, 숫생식구멍 등이 없는 점이 왕지렁이속의 다른 종과는 확연히 구별된다. 본 신종은 복부와 숫생식구멍의 그림을 삽입하여 기재하였다.
