Etymology. — The species name refers to the heavier, broader and proportionally stouter body of this earthworm compared to other species of the genus.

Diagnosis. — Diporodrilus rotundus sp. nov. can be distinguished from Diporodrilus omodeoi and Diporodrilus bouchei by the position of the clitellum in segments XXIII–XXXII (1/n XXXIII), and from all other species of Diporodrilus by the position of the last genital papillae in XXXIV, XXXV and position of spermathecae in 8/9–12/13(13/14) ( Table 2).

COI uncorrected average pairwise distances and topology of multilocus molecular phylogenetic trees supports the status of Diporodrilus rotundus sp. nov. as independent from other morphologically related species.
