Lumbriculus Ambiguus
''Lumbriculus ambiguus'' was described by Holmquist in 1976, based on material collected in northern Alaska. Like '' L. genitosetosus'', ''L. ambiguus'' was initially placed in the genus ''Thinodrilus'' along with '' L. inconstans'', but this genus is generally not recognised today. Its genital characters vary greatly between individuals, but certain features (such as the location of the atria in segment VIII) appear to be constant. References ambiguus {{annelid-stub ...

Lumbriculus Genitosetosus
''Lumbriculus genitosetosus'' was described by Holmquist in 1976 from almost 2,000 individuals collected in Northern Alaska. Initially, Holmquist revived the genus ''Thinodrilus'' (previously established by Smith in 1895 for ''Th. inconstans'') for ''L. genitosetosus'', ''Lumbriculus inconstans'' and '' Lumbriculus ambiguus'' on the basis of the ''Lumbriculus''-species having only one pair of vas deferens and sperm funnels per atrium, whereas the ''Thinodrilus''-species have two (one in the anterior end and one in the posterior); this division is, however, not generally recognised today, even if ''Thinodrilus'' may be a valid subgenus. ''Lumbriculus genitosetosus'', as the name suggests, can be recognised by its modified male genital setae, unique within the Lumbriculidae The Lumbriculidae are a family of microdrile oligochaetes common in freshwater environments, including streams, lakes, marshes, wells and groundwater. They should not be confused with the earthworm family Lu ...
