A new tubificid oligochaete, Krenedrilus towadensis, is described from deep bottoms of the oligotrophic caldera Lake Towada in northern Japan. It resembles K. realis Martínez-Ansemil and Collado, 1996, in the combination of somatic setae, but it is different from all other congeners by the lack of spermathecal setae and epidermal papillae in X, in the structures of penial and supernumerary setae, and in the location of spermathecal pores. The definition of Krenedrilus is revised.

Profundal oligochaete faunas (Annelida, Clitellata) in Japanese lakes
TLDR
Thirty-eight species of oligochaetes belonging to five families were recorded from profundal bottoms of 50 freshwater lakes on Japanese islands, and the composition of fauna is basically explained by the scheme of Timm (2012), with parallel replacement of European species.
Redescriptions of Spirosperma apapillatus and Embolocephalus nikolskyi (Annelida, Clitellata, Tubificinae) from Japan, with Reference to Distribution of Papillate Tubificines in Japanese Freshwaters
TLDR
Two freshwater papillate tubificines, Spirosperma apapillatus and Embolocephalus nikolskyi are redescribed, and geographic distributions are shown for these two species and E. yamaguchii (Brinkhurst, 1971) in the Japanese archipelago.

TLDR
The zoogeographical origin of the commonest profundal oligochaetes is discussed and the role of Potamothrix hammoniensis is discussed, which is the climax species in eutrophic lakes and the Far East.
Disappearance of deep profundal zoobenthos in Lake Ikeda, southern Kyushu, Japan, with relation to recent environmental changes in the lake
A benthological survey in a deep caldera, Lake Ikeda, southern Kyushu, Japan, in 1998 revealed that no zoobenthos were found in the deep profundal, although two tubificid oligochaetes, Tubifex…

Cladistic analysis of the subfamilies within the Tubificidae (Oligochaeta)
TLDR
A hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships within the family Tubificidae is presented, based on a Wagner analysis of morphological characters in the different subfamilies, supported by a synapomorphic ability to form slender spermatozeugmata in the spermathecae.
