Previously recognized as Aquitainian Prosellodrilus amplisetosus Bouch¨¦, 1972, the morphology and molecular characteristics rather indicate it as a taxon new to science. Its description has required revision of all prosellodrilid genera including Algerian subgenus Maghrebiella Baha & Bera, 2001 that is a permanently invalid homonym, here replaced with Cadanera nom. nov. A revised checklist is appended that holds Allolobophora festae Rosa, 1892 as a species incertae sedis pending review of the Cadanera type. This report brings the total earthworms known from Britain & Ireland to 72 species, including a new record of cosmopolitan Pithemera bicincta (Perrier, 1875) (Megascolecidae) from Dublin¡¯s Botanic Gardens %K Alien exotic earthworms %K new species %K Ireland %K Europe %K Mediterranean %K DNA barcode %U http://opuscula.elte.hu/PDF/Tomus43_2/Kenleenus_Blakemore.pdf
