Fridericia perrieri
(
Vejdovský, 1878
)
Only one specimen was found. Length
17.7 mm
, width 460 µm at VIII and 550 µm at the clitellum
in vivo
. Length of fixed specimen
10.4 mm
, width 520 µm at VIII and 490 µm at the clitellum. Segments 47. Chaetal formula 4,5 – 4,5,3,2: 4,5,6 – 4,5,3,2, in the segment XII absent. The chaetae within a preclitellar bundles of the two largest outer chaetae 58–60 by 5 µm, the middle pairs 55–58 by 5 µm the innermost chaetae much smaller 25–30 by 3 µm (
Fig. 21B
), posteriorly maximum 68–75 by 5 µm. Head pore at 0/I. Dorsal pores from VII. Clitellum in
XII–1
/2XIII, girdle-shaped, gland cells arrangement reticulate (
Fig. 21C–D
). Body wall 32–25 µm, cuticle 2–2.5 µm, fixed.
Brain egg-shaped, 155 µm long and 99 µm wide, fixed (
Fig. 21A
). Oesophageal appendages a-type with a few longer branches posteriorly. Pharyngeal glands in IV with dorsal connection and separate small ventral lobes. Pairs in V and VI without dorsal connection with ventral lobes (
Fig. 21F
). Dorsal blood vessel from XX, blood colourless. Midgut pars tumida were not observable. Five pairs of preclitellar nephridia from
6/7 to 10/11
. Coelomo-mucocytes numerous, mucocytes type a (length 23–32 µm, fixed), lenticytes numerous 8–10 µm long. Chylus cells between XIII–XVI. Seminal vesicle small.
Sperm funnel
about 125 µm long and two times longer than wide (
Fig. 21G
). Male copulatory organs compact, rounded diameter 60 µm and 32 µm high, fixed. Bursal slits longitudinal, staple-shaped (
Fig. 21E
). Subneural glands absent. Spermathecae: long ectal ducts without glands (270 µm long, 22 µm wide
in vivo
, 190 µm long and 20 µm wide, fixed), canal straight. Ampulla with two rounded, stalked diverticula (diameter 45–50 µm) containing sperm in a ring with rotating movement (
Figs. 19C
,
21H
). Two mature eggs.
Distribution and habitat.
In Mt. Hallasan, only one locality: site 14, in soil and litter layers of
Sasa quelpaertensis
forest.
Material examined.
Only one specimen was found (it was deposited in the
National Institute of Biological Resources
,
Korea
NIBRIV0000810603, slide No. 2395.)
Remarks.
Unfortunately, only one specimen was found, but it agreed in traits with the description of
F. perrieri
(
Schmelz, 2003
)
.
