Etymology. — The species name refers to its type locality being the southernmost recorded for Diporodrilus .

Diagnosis. — Diporodrilus meridionalis sp. nov. can be distinguished from Diporodrilus omodeoi and Diporodrilus bouchei by the position of the clitellum in segments XXIII–XXXI, XXXII and from the rest of the species of the genus by the presence of genital papillae in XXXII and XXXV ( Table 2).

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