Amynthas sangumburi Hong & Kim, 2002
Remarks. Described by Hong & Kim (2002: 198, fig. 4) from Sangumburi volcanic crater near Mt Halla, it resembles A. toriii (Ohfuchi, 1941: 244) from a cave in Oita-ken that is currently in synonymy of A. corticis . However, Blakemore (2012b: 143) found this indistinguishable from A. subrotundus (Ishizuka, 2000) itself similar to A. rufidulus (Ishizuka, 2000) that were both placed in A. corticis complex by Blakemore (2003). Therefore, possibly A. sangumburi also belongs in synonymy either of A. corticis or of the Japanese species, otherwise its validity dependent upon deeper research by its original authors. Sometimes misspelt “ A. sangumburiensis ” (e.g. http:// www.annelids.org/bbta/Main/main_3_2_1.asp). A. sangumburi is compared by Sun et al. (2012: 152, 153, tab. 1) to their A. fuscus that is actually yet another junior synonym of A. carnosus as already clarified above. A similar taxon is A. simplex sp. nov. described below.
