UMUTZ-Ann-Og-11
Type status: ?
Locality: Leipzig, Germany
Date: ?
Collectors: ?
No. of specimens: 1.
Label information: “200/2 Nais proboscides [sic lapsus] O.F. Müller Naidomorpha, Oligochaeta. Leipzig”.
Condition: Good.
Remarks: Possibly loaned from Naturkundemuseum Leipzig (although enquiries there are thus far unanswered) that, opening in 1912, housed the first German deep sea expedition (1898) material. Or, more likely, this worm was collected by Prof. Isao Ijima who also collected leeches in Leipzig in 1884 (see Hirudinida catalogue in this volume).
Note that Stylaria lacustris, originally Nereis lacustris Linnaeus, 1767, is type of Stylaria Lamarck, 1816 [Syns.: Stylinais Gervais, 1838 (Type: Nais proboscidea); Caecaria Floericke, 1892 (Type: Caecaria rara Floericke, 1892)] and is a widely distributed, cosmopolitan, lacustrine microdrile.

UMUTZ-Ann-Og-26 (Fig. 1)
Type status: SYNTYPES. (Note: the previously dissected specimen may be eligible as a Lectotype thereby making the second undamaged specimen a Paralectotype, although this action is not formally taken here).
Locality: Tokyo.
Date: ?
Collectors: ?
No. of specimens: 2.
Label information: “201 Perichaeta communissi-ma Oligochaeta, Chaetopoda Tokyo” (Fig. 1c).
Condition: Both good (one previously dissected).
Remarks: Considered types because of label identification (by original authors?) and the fact that Tokyo is one of locations mentioned by Goto & Hatai (1899).
In a footnote, Sims & Easton (1972: 235) state that: “Both communissimus and sieboldi lenzi were provided for Perichaeta sieboldi : Goto & Hatai, 1898 (non Horst, 1883); communissimus has priority”. This was already established by Michaelsen (1900: 262), but appears to have been overlooked by Easton (1981: 51) when he listed sieboldi lenzi as a separate “INCLUDED SPECIES” in his hilgendorfi species-complex rather than as a synonym.
Horst (1899: 240) quite rightly criticises Goto & Hatai (1898) for their poor and inconsistent work 100 years before contribution from Ishizuka (2001). Having male pores in slight inversions, rather than (everted?) “on top of papillae” as in the original description, just qualifies this taxon for inclusion in Metaphire. Michaelsen (1900: 263) stated that the prostatic ducts were thickened at the end but did not have (large?) copulatory pouches (as found in Pheretima s. strict. and Duplodicodrilus Blakemore, 2008b).
A full redescription will be provided in the near future (Blakemore in prep.).

UMUTZ-Ann-Og-34 (Fig. 2)
Type status: SYNTYPES.
Locality: Kikkuchi, Kumamoto-ken.
Date: 明治29/8/? [=August, 1896].
Collectors: 高山 (Takayama).
No. of specimens: 4 matures (one previously dissected).
Label information: “P. levis Goto & Hatai. 明治29/8/? [=August, 1896]. [Location:] 熊本県菊池 (Kikkuchi, Kumamoto-ken). [Collector:] 高山 (Takayama)”. Label is same format as that in jar #36. External stuck on label is now placed in a separate jar from original (Fig. 2c).
Condition: Good.
Remarks: The label identifies these specimens with Goto & Hatai’s (1899) taxon from a time and place compatible to their description. Although Goto & Hatai (1899) describe only one specimen in detail, they give two localites as: “Loc. -- Takahashi (Prov. Bitchu), Kumamoto (Kyushu)”. The present specimens are from the latter place and, although biometry differs from type description (they have length = 85 mm with 88 segments, rather than 102 mm with 84 segments in current dissected specimen), they nevertheless conform to the prior Amynthas tokioensis (Beddard, 1892) biometry as redescribed by Blakemore (2005).
Spermathecal pores are in 6/7/8 but male pores are absent in most of the current specimens, or only present on one side and my current opinion is that, since there is no reliable evidence that the male pores when complete are invaginate, P. levis defaults back to Amynthas and is most probably in synonymy of A. tokioensis or, where stripes are indicative, into the ambit of of A. vittatus (Goto & Hatai, 1898) but note that the current syntypes are uniformly pigmented a light brown colour suggesting this latter possibility is unlikely.
A full redescription will be provided in the near future (Blakemore in prep.).

Amynthas hupeiensis (Michaelsen, 1895)
UMUTZ-Ann-Og-28

Collectors: Prof. Goto or Prof. C. Ping?
No. of specimens: 10 mostly matures.
Label information: “南京中央科学?生物研究所 (China)..., Prof. C. Ping.. Perichaeta hupeiensis Mich (?) Goto Oct 1924”.

UMUTZ-Ann-Og-35
Type status: Topotypes (non primary types with no taxonomic status).
Locality: Tokyo.
Date: “6/91” [=June/1891?].
Collectors: ?
No. of specimens: 2 (both ‘head’ ends, neither dissected, plus a longer ‘tail’ portion).
Label information: “Perichaeta micronaria Tokyo”; “No. 4”; “6/91”.
Condition: Poor (desiccated).
Remarks: Amynthas micronarius was originally described with markings in both 17/18 and 18/19 with 8-10 setae between superficial male pores on 18 (as in G & H text figure and in the current dried specimens). However, these contemporaneous topotypes are not considered syntypes of micronarius as, despite their damage, neither anterior portion appears to have been dissected previously and thus would not have contributed to the original description. Further morphological data on internal anatomy of current specimens is not readily available due to their poor preservation.
References: Blakemore (2003, 2005, 2008) as noted above.
UMUTZ-Ann-Og-36-1
Type status: Non types.
Locality: Tosaki, Kikkuchi, Kumamoto Pref.
Date: 明治29/8/? [=1896].
Collectors: 高山 Takayama.
No. of specimens: At least 1
Label information: “Perichaeta micronaria” “明治29/8/? [=1896]. [Location:] 熊本県菊池郡戸崎 (Tozaki, Kikuchi, Kumamoto-ken). [Collector:] 高山 (Takayama)”. Label is same format as that in jar #34; other labels on inside and outside of jar say: “Perichaeta micronaria” but are otherwise illegible.
Condition: Good, all life stages; at least one previously dissected.
Remarks: The jar contains Amynthas cf. heteropodus (UMUTZ-Ann-Og-36-2). Amynthas micronarius (Goto & Hatai, 1898: 74) was originally described (variously) as either 55 or 66 mm long, whereas the current dissected specimen is ca. 100 mm long with markings on 17/18 only (rather than in both 17/18 and 18/19); it has about 8-10 setae between superficial male pores on 18. Moreover, the location differs from the originally stated single specimen’s type-locality that was “Loc. – Tokyo”. Hence the current specimens are not considered syntypes of micronarius per se; neither are the other specimens likely types of P. heteropoda as Kumamoto was not a type locality.

Label information: 大学構内 Tokyo University campus; “10% Picric acid Supporting in moist chamber for 3 days”.
Condition: Fair (none previously dissected, one mature dissected by RJB 17/II/2011).

Amynthas irregularis has manicate caeca but allegedly lacks spermathecae, moreover, Tokyo is not listed by Goto & Hatai (1899) as its locality.
