Varichaetadrilus fulleri: Comments
Comment:
This species was described as new to science in Brinkhurst and Kathman (1983); in that same paper, several species that were originally described in other genera (e.g., Limnodrilus, Psammoryctides,Tubifex, or Varichaeta) were transferred to a new genus,Varichaetadrilus after it was discovered that the name Varichaeta was preoccupied (Varichaeta Speiser, 1903 in Diptera); these three transfers included Varichaeta pacifica to Varichaetidrilus pacificus (Brinkhurst, 1965) new combination (type species), Varichaeta nevadana to Varichaetadrilus nevadana (Brinkhurst, 1965) new combination, and Varichaeta israelis to Varichaetadrilus israelis (Brinkhurst, 1965) new combination (a non-North American species). In this same paper, they described a new species to science, Varichaetadrilus fulleri Brinkhurst & Kathman, 1983, and revised the description of Varichaetadrilus pacificus (Brinkhurst, 1965) to include the bifidus form of V. pacificus
