Drawida iucn Blakemore, 2013a: 19 , fig. 3.

Material. Specimen: IV0000261359 mature (dissected and providing DNA sample HY18), from Yeomiji Botanical Gardens (GPS 33.252594, 126.414137), Seogwipo , Jeju Island, collector RJB 5 th Sept. 2013 .

Description. Bluish colour. Length 63 mm. Dorsal pores absent but pigmented dots present from 2/3. Genital markings as figured. Spermathecal atrium present but no atrial glands seen. Prostate to male pores joined at base by vasa deferentia. Gizzards in 11-13 (three of).

Remarks. This specimen is a more bluish hue and has additional markings on 8rhs and mid-ventrally on 10. The main difference from the type description of D. iucn is the gizzards given as “ in 12-15 with muscular modification in 12 reduced ” but shown in Blakemore (2013: fig. 3) to be in 11-14, if the conjoined septum “ 11/12/13 ” is taken as the origin of the ovisacs in 12/13. Thus since segments may be counted differently it is perhaps more proper that its classification for the type be augmented as four gizzards in 11,12-14 (15) or, for the new variety morph , as three gizzards in 11-13. DNA barcodes agree 639/643 (99%) thus tolerably conspecific.
