Previously recorded: Harris, Henry. This Asian species is widely distributed in the eastern US ( Chang et al. 2016 ). Remarks. Because Amynthas agrestis is present at this site as well, this represents the first reported cooccurrence in Georgia of two of ‘the big three’ pheretimoid earthworms that often co-invade further north in North America (see Chang et al . 2018 ). Metaphire hilgendorfi is only reported once from Georgia (Clarke Co., see below), and Amynthas tokioensis has only been reported from Harris and Henry Counties (as junior synonym Metaphire levis , see Chang et al . 2021 ).
