Amynthas kanrazanus incretus ( Kobayashi, 1937)
Remarks. Amynthas kanrazanus incretus ( Kobayashi, 1937: 343, fig. 4) syn. Amynthas alveolatus Hong & James, 2001 after Blakemore (2015), from Mt Halla. Amynthas yongshilensis (an A. tokioensis synonym) was also described from Mt Halla, Yongshil, and stated (Hong & James, 2001: 81) only to be similar to their subsequent A. alveolatus yet, remarkably, A. alveolatus - that is an obvious junior synonym of A. kanrazanus incretus from the same type-locality - was not compared to any previous species! Moreover, their subsequent species, A. geomunensis Hong & James, 2001: 82, was similarly compared only their two preceding names ignoring similarity to A. kanrazanus .
The sub-species A. kanrazanus incretus was included under its nominal taxon by Song & Paik (1969: 136, 1970: 10), but this requires further consideration and it is here provisionally restored until a neotype can be select- ed from topotypes (and DNA extracted).
Taxonomic note. Kobayashi’s name Pheretima kanrazana var. increta (cf. Pheretima incerta Beddard, 1912: 197 ) was misspelled as “ incertus ” in Sims & Easton (1972: 237, 243) and this has been copied over to iBOLD, the Barcode of Life and other websites.
