This paper describes four new species earthworms from Hunan and Anhui provinces, China, Qiu & Jin, , Qiu & Jin, , Jin & Li, and Jin & Jiang, , and belong to the group. Both have four pairs of intersegmental spermathecal pores in 5/6-8/9; male pores in segment XVIII, separated by 1/3 of body circumference, each on top of a slightly raised porophore, surrounded by several tiny genital papillae. prostate glands are degenerated. belongs to the group, it has two pairs of spermathecal pores in 5/6 and 6/7; male pores in XVIII, separated by 1/3 of body circumference, each on top of a slightly raised, circular porophore. belongs to the group. It has three pairs of spermathecal pores in 6/7-8/9; male pores in XVIII, separated by 1/3 of body circumference, each on the bottom center of the longitudinal copulatory chamber.
