Euura clitellata ZMUO.

146 Euura clitellata group sp. 1 Fig. 374 A single male (ZMUO.035580) from Utsjoki (Finland) is clearly a different species from the others in the group, based on nuclear DNA. The penis valve is not clearly distinguishable from E. clitellata, but externally (colouration and the projection of tergite 8) it is most similar to E. fallax.

Evolutionary relationships within the clitellata

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1992
Abstract The results from published cladistic analyses of various oligochaete taxa suggest that the Haplotaxidase is a paraphyletic taxon once Metataxis is transfered to the Lumbricina and Tiguassu to the Tiguassidae. The Branchiobdellida and Lumbriculidae appear to have shared a common ancestor in which two male ducts enter each strium.
