Abstract | A few examples are given of variability and taxonomic difficulties within the Desmoscolecida as well at species level as at genus level. The diagnostic characters generally used within two genera: Desmoscolex Claparède, 1863 and Tricoma Cobb, 1894 and the status of the genus Quadricoma Filipjev, 1922 are discussed. |
