Remarks: This is one of the four subspecies of A. koreanus , all confined to Korea and Bonin Islands ( MIKHALJOVA & Kim 1993, KORSÓS 1996). However, according to the opinion of PAIK (1958), VERHOEFF’ s original record from the Bonin Islands was mislabelled.

Remarks: Originally described from the southern part of Primorsky kray (= Maritime Prov.), Russian Far East ( MIKHALJOVA 1982a), this species appears to be widespread in this territory. It has also been reported from North Korea ( MIKHALJOVA & KIM 1993). Recently, the study of the single male paratype from North Korean Anaulaciulus riedeli JĘDRYCZKOWSKI, 1982 established it to be a subjective junior synonym to A. golovatchi MIKHALJOVA, 1982 (MIKHALJOVA 2002).

This species appears to be quite variable and variation of the gonopod promere shape was reported in the original description. The material here has permitted to illustrate the variation of different specific characters. The gonopod opisthomere apical blade ranges from narrow to broad, the distal edge of the opisthomere mesal longitudinal blade from sloping to excavated ( Figs 29–40 ), the coloration (in alcohol) from dark brown or brown without or with characteristic pattern to light brown without or with pattern. Body length of males and females varies between 15.0 to 36.0 mm, diameter between 0.8 to 2.5 mm. The vertical diameter of somite 23/number of podous somites ratio in A. golovatchi from various populations are presented in Table 1 and Fig. 41 . As a gradual transition is seen between the Far Eastern and the North Korean specimens neither is sharply delimited in dimensions (in spite of the small number of the measured males from North Korea).

However, it is necessary to note that both the large dark brown specimens prevail among North Korean populations and medium brown specimens among the Far Eastern populations. Accordingly, only one male from South Korea is slightly separated. It differs by a smaller body size, a more slender opisthomere and a more curved border to the opisthomere mesal blade. However, to estimate the variation of the South Korean specimens, additional material needs to be studied .
