Pheretima (Parapheretima) saba Sims & Easton, 1972 (Fig. 6) Pheretima (Parapheretima) saba Sims & Easton, 1972: 265 from region of Mesilau Cave at 2,100–2,400m and ridge between Mesilau Rivers at 2,750m. Syntypes in Natural History Museum, London: BMNH 1971: 19: 88–89, 90 / 93 (not re-inspected here). Diagnosis: Parapheretima occurring on Mt Kinabalu with paired spermathecae in 5 / 6 / 7. Genital markings absent. Holandric. Intestinal caeca simple in 27. Distribution: Mt Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. [Type locality near Mesilau Cave]. Material examined: mature specimen, dissected and sketched by RJB – NSMT-An 370, fixed in formalin at collection and stored in 80 % ethanol with a spermatheca removed to a separate vial in jar; from vicinity of Paka Cave, Mt Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia collected by Tatsuya Kawaguchi, 13.vii. 2005 (original sample labeled “ 050713 PAKA 5 -B” also contained specimens of Metaphire paka as described above). Lengths: 60–119 mm; current specimen 60 mm, Sims & Easton (1972) had size range 87–119 mm. Width: ca. 2–4 mm. Segments: 107–135; current specimen 107, Sims & Easton (1972) had range 112–135. Colour in formalin: faint brown anteriorly; clitellum yellow/buff. Prostomium: open epilobous. First dorsal pore: 11 / 12–13 / 14 (12 / 13 in current specimen). Setae: 28–40 per segment; Sims & Easton (1972) had range 34–40; current specimen has 28–30 [actual data ca. 31 on 7, 28 on 20, 22–26 posteriorly; no setae between male pores (pers. obs. not previously noted by Sims & Easton)]. Nephropores: diffuse, not found. Clitellum: annular 14–16, setae obscured. Male pores: on 18 ca. 0.3 circumference apart on large eversible copulatory structures protruding from male pores described by Sims & Easton “ as large crenellate copulatory pouches 0.3 of the body circumference apart ” with no setae intervening (current specimen); actual male pores seem to be just anterio-median to large sucker-like pads (pers. obs. and see sketch). Female pores: single, midventral on 14. Spermathecal ...
