Abstract
Five new species of the genus Trichodrilus are described: Trichodrilus longipenis sp. n., T. rouchi sp. n., T. capilliformis sp. n, and T. a ngelieri sp. n. from hyporheic waters of the Iberian Peninsula and Fra nce, and T. bonheurensis sp. n. from superficial waters of France. The new taxa contribute with some new features to an amended diagnosis of the genus: presence of modified penial setae, four pairs of spermathe cae, hair-like dorsal setae and glandular pads in the epidermis.
