Remarks. The species was synonymized with Drawida barwelli (Beddard, 1886) (Blakemore 2002), but it is a valid species distinguishable specifically from D. barwelli as has been shown by Shen et al. (2015: 434 – 435). Material from Vietnam shows the untwisted and short sperm ducts characteristic of D. beddardi (Nguyen 2013).

Abstract

The comprehensive checklist of earthworms in Vietnam is presented here listing 24 genera and 212 species arranged in eight families. For each species, bibliographic citations are given, including the original descriptions as well as notable citations affecting taxonomic status or distributional reports of a species. Distributions of each species are also provided. The bibliography contains all relevant papers for Vietnamese earthworms. Of 212 species, 114 have been recorded only in Vietnam, and 25 are cosmopolitan. New combinations are made for Amynthas acalifornicus (Do & Huynh, 1991) comb. nov., A. binhgiaensis (Le, 1994) comb. nov., Metaphire catbaensis (Thai & Le, 1993) comb. nov., M. khoii (Do & Tran, 1994) comb. nov., M. phaluongana (Do & Huynh, 1992) comb. nov., and M. mangophila (Nguyen, 2011) comb. nov., M. tripidoporophoratus (Thai & Nguyen, 1993) comb. nov. Additionally, Pheretima paraalexandri Nguyen, 2011 is treat- ed as a junior synonym of Amynthas polychaetiferus (Thai, 1984).
