This study describes two new species of earthworms belonging to the genus Drawida (Oligochaeta: Moniligastridae) from southwestern Taiwan. They are Drawida alishanensis sp. nov. and Drawida fenqihuensis sp. nov. The two species were found at elevations of 1407-1661 m in the Alishan area, Chiayi County. DNA barcodes from type specimens of the new species are reported. This is the first time that new species of Drawida are discovered from the island of Taiwan. In addition, Drawida keikiensis Kobayashi, 1938 from Korea is found to be synonymous with Drawida syringa Chen, 1933 from central China. The synonymy of Drawida glabella Chen, 1938 with Drawida barwelli (Beddard, 1886) is rejected.
本研究描述了来自台湾西南部的两种新的链胃蚓属(寡毛纲:链胃蚓科)蚯蚓。它们是阿里山链胃蚓新种和奋起湖链胃蚓新种。这两个物种发现于嘉义县阿里山地区海拔1407 - 1661米处。报告了新物种模式标本的DNA条形码。这是首次在台湾岛发现链胃蚓属新物种。此外,发现1938年来自韩国的小林链胃蚓与1933年来自中国中部的陈氏链胃蚓同义。1938年的陈氏光腹链胃蚓与巴氏链胃蚓(贝德,1886年)的同义关系被否定。
