Treatment

Acanthodrilus paniensis: Jamieson & Bennett 1979: 375 .

Material examined

HNHM / AF5670 About HNHM , 1 ex . New Caledonia, Boghen (21.59° S, 166.11° E), from soil, 27 January 2014, leg GoogleMaps . T. Pavlí Č ek and O. Pearson.

Remarks

Our material fits well with the original description but differs somewhat from that of Jamieson and Bennett (1979). First of all, in our specimen (and also in the holotype) lacks any accessory genital markings and the testis sacs in 10, 11 are quite obvious. The penial setae are 6.2 mm in length and 160 μm wide, similar to those described by Michaelsen (1913) but differ somewhat from those described by Jamieson and Bennett (1979) who measured 6.8 mm × 42 μm. Differing from the original description, we could not find genital setae in our specimen. According to Michaelsen (1913), this character is however, quite variable.
