In the likelihood ratio tests the 28S data-set is inconsistent with monophyly of the Aquamegadrili but this is entirely due to the inclusion of  Komarekiona as sister-taxon of  Sparganophilus . The 28S data are inconsistent with partition of crassiclitellates into Aquamegadrili and Terrimegadrili (see families listed in Introduction); instead the representatives ( Sparganophilus,  Criodrilus and  Lutodrilus) of the original aquamegadrile taxa, with  Komarekiona, lie within a paraphyletic Terrimegadrili (Figs 2; 3). The Lumbricoidea is incompatible with the 28S data but principally because the glossoscolecid sp. never groups with the remainder in the best trees but groups equivocally with  Eudrilus . However the unity of the majority of the remaining Lumbricoidea will necessarily require more sampling.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E329D91AFFD4FFBD656BFA8CFCC8FD1A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In the present analysis,  Eudrilus always has the glossoscolecid Gen. sp. (a lumbricoid sensu Jamieson 1978, 1988) as its sister-taxon, with moderate BS support of 63-84 % (MP, ML, Figs 2; 3). The other glossoscolecid,  Pontoscolex, may or may not link with these. There is no molecular support here for regarding eudrilids as the unique sister-group of the  Ocnerodrilidae +  Megascolecidae assemblage. Omodeo (2000) derived eudrilids independently (from alluroidids), thus also noting their distinctness but that origin goes contrary to the present confirmation of the monophyletic nature of the  Crassiclitellata .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E329D91AFFD4FFBD67BEFD0CFBEAFABA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, all three of these families had been tentatively included in the superfamily  Megascolecoidea in Jamieson (1978, 1980). Recognition by Lee (1959), Jamieson (1971a-c, 1978, 1980), and Sims (1966, 1967) of an  Acanthodrilinae +  Megascolecinae assemblage together with the Ocnerodril(-inae) (-idae) is endorsed in the present molecular analyses. Monophyly of the ocnerodrile exemplar  Eukerria saltensis with the  Megascolecidae ( Acanthodrilinae +  Megascolecinae) is supported in all cladistic analyses that have additional outgroups. This relationship of the  Ocnerodrilidae with the  Megascolecidae has&gt; 90% BS support in MP trees (see Figs 2; 4, also Jamieson 2000). In view of the sister-group relationship of the  Eukerria saltensis with the  Megascolecidae s.l., it appears that the family  Ocnerodrilidae may be included in the  Megascolecoidea, rather than having a suprafamilial rank of its own, but this needs wider sampling to test monophyly, and the relationships of the two ocnerodrile tribes Ocnerodrilini and Malabarini.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E329D91AFFD4FFBE67BEFAECFED9FCBA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Prostates are not only tubular but may also (rarely) be racemose and nephridia are not only holonephridia but may also be meronephridia. Unlike many acanthodrilids of Gates, the prostates usually do not discharge on segment 18 (doing so in  Rhododrilus), typically opening on segments 17 and 19, as in the type-genus.  Megascolecinae with homeotic displacement of male pores may correspond with this definition but show their affinities with megascolecines in other respects. Posterior nephridia in  Acanthodrilinae sensu Jamieson (1971a) lacked the median funnel diagnostic of the Dichogastrini within the  Megascolecinae sensu Jamieson. The alimentary and vascular systems differed from those of the Ocnerodrilinae in some of which, as in  Eukerria Michaelsen, 1935, the male and prostate pores have the acanthodrilin arrangement. It has been shown in the molecular analysis that dichogastrins with acanthodrilin male pores must be transferred to the  Acanthodrilinae and that the dichogastrin nephridial condition has arisen more than once (see below).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E329D91AFFD7FFBE67BEFCCCFB72F93A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The widely used system for internal classification of the  Megascolecidae of Gates (1959, 1972) cannot be sustained, as already argued by Lee (1959, 1970) and Jamieson (1971a-c). Diagnosis of  Megascolecidae in the restricted sense of Gates (1972) by the possession of racemose prostates (with holo- or meronephridia) is not supported in any MP trees, with multiple evolution of racemose and tubular prostates implied by the molecular phylogenies (Figs 3; 4). However, bootstrap values are low in the relevant section of the trees and, as no species with tubular prostates has a high bootstrap linkage with a species with racemose prostates [notwithstanding the  
Terrisswalkerius 
athertonensis-Didymogaster clade]. Likelihood ratio tests are equivocal on this but we suggest this is more a reflection on the SH test as overly conservative.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E329D91AFFD7FFBE656BFCECFDA5FA7A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Gates (1959, 1972) diagnosed the Acanthodril(-inae), (-idae), as having tubular prostates and a pair of nephridia (holonephridia) per segment. The relationship of the meronephric Neodiplotrem a with the holonephric  Diplotrema in all trees (either 28S, mtDNA or combined) argues against recognition of the Octochaet(-idae), (inae), and against the Acanthodril(-inae), (-idae) of Gates and of Sims.

It has, however, repeatedly been questioned (e.g., Jamieson 1978, 1981; Dyne 1984) that dichogastrins with acanthodrilin male pores (here represented by  Dichogaster) are monophyletic with those with megascolecin pores (e.g.,  Digaster).</p><p>The present analyses relegate “acanthodrilin dichogastrins” ( Dichogaster and  Neodiplotrema) to the  Acanthodrilinae and “megascolecin dichogastrins” (albeit represented only by  Digaster and  Didymogaster) to the  Megascolecinae s.l. in combined and separate analyses for both mtDNA and 28S with overall good support (e.g., BS support of 77% in the combined ML tree, Fig. 4).</p><p>The Nearctic  Diplocardia longiseta appears to lie within this “acanthodrilin” clade (83% BS, Fig. 3) but the only available data (the 28S) are not sufficient for further resolution and more taxa are required.  Diplocardia Garman, 1888 has been shown by James (1990) to be closely similar in morphology to  Diplotrema . The available 12S data support the argument (Jamieson 1995) that  Rhododrilus glandifera, in the Wet Tropics of Queensland, is locally derived from a precursor with the acanthodrilin arrangement of male pores (probably  Diplotrema with which it has a 99% BS value in Fig. 3) though this requires confirmation from analysis of larger numbers of sequences.  R. glandifera thus appears to deserve a subgeneric rank in  Diplotrema or generic rank separately from  Rhododrilus, the type-locality of which is in New Zealand.</p><p>All trees from combined data endorse recognition of the  Acanthodrilinae for worms with acanthodrilin male pores, including acanthodrilin Dichogastrini ( Dichogaster) (though there is lack of resolution for 28S, Fig. 2) but not those ocnerodriles ( Eukerria) with acanthodrilin or other male terminalia. The ocnerodriles (albeit represented only by  Eukerria) are phylogenetically distinct in the present study and are well-defined morphologically.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E329D91AFFD6FFBF656BFB2CFC9AFB3A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Prostates were racemose, tubular or tubuloracemose (Jamieson 1971a-c). In contrast, Gates (1959, 1972) attributed only worms with racemose prostates, irrespective of nephridial types, to his restricted  Megascolecidae .</p><p>Resolution of the Megascolecini was not an aim of the present work and as few representatives have been included ( Amynthas Kinberg, 1867,  Begemius Easton, 1982,  Propheretima Jamieson, 1995, and  Spenceriella Michaelsen, 1907) results must be regarded with caution. However, none of the analyses supports retention of the Megascolecini as defined by Jamieson (1971a-c). It is to be expected that the criteria of meronephry with enteronephry may have evolved more than once. A core of megascolecin genera, including among others  Begemius, and  Amynthas, is suspected to be monophyletic however (Jamieson 1981), though it no longer appears that  Spenceriella is as close to the pheretimoids as previously argued.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E329D91AFFD6FFB067BEFB6CFE18FDDA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

There is no convincing support in any analysis for a unified or monophyletic  Perionychini although there is evidence that some of these holonephric megascolecines are closely related. There is, however, much instability in perionychin relationships, reflected in low BS values and lack of consensus (Figs 3-5). In all analyses the “perionychin” (acanthodrile sensu Gates)  Pontodrilus diverges at or near the base of the  Megascolecinae s.l., and while exclusion from the  Acanthodrilinae is upheld, its uncertain placement reflects its enigmatic affinities on morphological and ecological grounds.  Pontodrilus is highly unusual among crassiclitellates in being euryhaline. It may be suspected of having had a long independent evolution. The tribe  Perionychini, although a convenient taxonomic grouping, is thus a para- or polyphyletic assemblage in the molecular analyses. This has previously been suspected (Jamieson 1988) as the  Perionychini is recognized on the basis of the symplesiomorphic possession of holonephridia (a condition seen throughout the  Oligochaeta, whereas meronephry is virtually limited to  Megascolecidae). It is therefore a grade rather than a clade.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E329D91AFFD6FFBF656BFF4DFEFAFBFA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Our 28S data are consistent with a leech-branchiobdellid-lumbriculid clade, within the  Oligochaeta, less so for a leech-branchiobdellid grouping, considering the variation among methods. Although long branch/rate acceleration/base content has posed problems for the nuclear ribosomal genes analyses, consistency with data of different characteristics (mtDNA and COI) underlines these relationships. The lumbriculid relationship was proposed on morphological grounds by Michaelsen (1928 -1932), Brinkhurst &amp; Nemec (1986), Brinkhurst &amp; Gelder (1989), Brinkhurst (1999a) and, less certainly, by Brinkhurst (1999b) and from molecular data by Siddall &amp; Burreson (1998), Martin (2001) and Siddall et al. (2001). If accepted, the present phylogeny would confirm the  Oligochaeta as a paraphyletic group as previously mooted (Jamieson et al. 1987; Jamieson 1988; Martin 2001), being merely the non-leech, nonbranchiobdellidan clitellates (Purschke et al. 1993). Inclusion of leeches and branchiobdellids within the  Oligochaeta would thus render the name  Oligochaeta synonymous with  Clitellata (or Euclitellata of Jamieson 1983), as proposed by Siddall et al.
