All the specimens of the new species are deposited in the Hebei Key Laboratory of Animal Diversity, Langfang Normal University, Hebei, China (<b>C-HLU</b>).</p><p><b>Diagnosis.</b></p><p>Length 22.0–47.0 mm, diameter 3.0– 5.5 mm, 67–120 segments; body grey or white, head pale pink, clitellum light-pink to pale-yellow in X – XIII. Prostomium prolobous; dorsal pores absent. Setae four pairs per segment, aa = bc, ab = cd. Genital markings unpaired, irregular, VI / VII – XIII, maximum 4–7 papillae in XIII. Spermathecae paired in VII – VIII, ampulla white with slightly yellowish, comma-shaped or crescent-shaped in VIII, with a long, curly, tightly coiled duct, and atrium small oval shaped in VIII. Male pores paired, 10 / 11, between b and c, spindle-shaped, superficial, no penis. Female pores absent. Hearts 4 pairs (VI – IX). Septa 5–8 thick, muscular. Gizzards three, greyish-white with faint golden-caramel tint, XII (XIII) – XVIII (XX). The testis sacs are asymmetrically paired and pale brown or white, extending posteriorly from IX – XIII, occupying two or three segments; vas deferens slender, loosely coiled in IX – X; prostate glands one pair, elliptical, white, irregular-discoid, tightly adherent to parietes in XI. Ovisacs paired, umbrella handle-shaped, pink-tinged, XII – XIII, some extend to XV and XVI. Ovarian chamber absent. Accessory glands round, stalkless, corresponding to external genital papillae.</p><p><b>Description.</b></p><p><i>External characters</i>: Length 22.0–47.0 mm, diameter 3.0– 5.5 mm, 67–120 segments. Head pale pink, body grey or white. Prostomium prolobous (Fig. 1 A, H). Dorsal pores absent. Clitellum annular in X – XIII, light pink or pale yellow (Fig. 1 B). Setae lumbricine, 4 pairs, small dots that exist in every segment except the first, about ab = cd, aa = bc. Genital markings present as small, white, papilla-like protuberances, unpaired irregularly in VI / VII – XIII. The highest number of papillae is typically observed in XIII of most specimens, with a range of 4–7. Spermathecal pore paired in 7 / 8 in bc-line, close to c. Male pores, paired in 10 / 11, between setae b and c, and the distances from b and c are approximately equal, spindle-shaped, superficial without protrusion or indentation, penis absent (Fig. 1 C, I). Female pores absent.</p><p><i>Internal characters</i>: Hearts four pairs in VI-IX. Septa V-VIII relatively thick and muscular, gizzards three in XII-XVIII or XIIII-XX segments, greyish-white with faint golden-caramel tints (Fig. 1 D, J). The testis sacs are asymmetrical paired and pale brown or white, extend posteriorly from IX – XIII, occupying two or three segments, vas deferens slender and loosely coiled in IX-X, with one pair elliptical white and Irregular disc-shaped prostate gland tightly adhered to the abdominal wall in XI (Fig. 1 E, K). Ovisacs paired, umbrella handle-shaped, tapering gradually toward the tip and pink-tinged, in XII-XIII, some extend to XV and XVI (Fig. 1 F, L). Ovarian chamber absent. Spermathecae paired in VII-VIII, ampulla white with slightly yellowish, comma-shaped or crescent-shaped in VIII, with long, curly, and tightly coiled duct, atrium small oval shaped in VIII (Fig. 1 G, M). Accessory glands round and stalkless, in correspondence with external genital markings.</p><p><b>Etymology.</b></p><p>The name refers to the type locality, Wuxi County in China.</p><p><b>Distribution.</b></p><p>Chongqing (China).</p><p><b>Habitat.</b></p><p>Grassland in high elevation in Chongqing Wuxi reserve.</p><p><b>Remarks.</b></p><p>DjSC currently includes <i>D. calebi</i>, <i>D. companio</i>, <i>D. henanensis</i>, <i>D. japonica</i> s. s., <i>D. jeholensis</i>, <i>D. keikiensis</i>, <i>D. koreana</i>, <i>D. moriokaensis</i>, <i>D. siemsseni</i>, <i>D. sinensis</i>, and the newly described species <i>D. wuxiensis</i> sp. nov. The new species exhibits a relatively short body length (22-47 mm), distinguishing it from <i>D. koreana</i>, <i>D. siemsseni</i>, <i>D. keikiensis</i>, <i>D. calebi</i>, <i>D. jeholensis</i>, <i>D. moriokaensis</i> and <i>D. companio</i> (Table 3). Additionally, <i>D. wuxiensis</i> sp. nov. displays a grey body color in alcohol, in contrast to the dark bule, buff and blotchy olive body color observed in <i>D. koreana</i>, <i>D. siemsseni</i> and <i>D. impertusa</i> (Hong 2002; Blakemore et al. 2014).</p><p><i>Drawida wuxiensis</i> sp. nov. most closely resembles <i>D. henanensis</i>, <i>D. japonica</i> s. s. and <i>D. sinensis</i>, but differs from <i>D. henanensis</i> by having three gizzards (vs two or three in <i>D. henanensis</i>), and the position of gizzards range from XII – XVIII or XIV – XX (vs XI / XII – XIII / XIV / XVI), by the comma-shaped spermathecae with a small oral atrium and long coiled duct (vs the round ampulla with an elliptical atrium of <i>D. henanensis</i>); it can be distinguished from <i>D. japonica</i> s. s. by its shorter length (22-47 mm vs 28-70 mm), the absence of female pores (present in intersegment 11 / 12 in <i>D. japonica</i> s. s.), and gizzards occupying segments XII – XVIII / XIV – XX (vs XI / XII – XIII / XIV in <i>D. japonica</i> s. s.); the new species differs from <i>D. sinensis</i> by the comma-shaped ampulla and tightly coiled ducts (vs ball-like ampulla and loosely coiled duct of <i>D. sinensis</i>). Additionally, the new species bears paired, elliptical prostate glands whose volume equals one-quarter that of the testis sac, whereas the ratio is 1: 3 in <i>D. henanensis</i>, 1: 2 in <i>D. japonica</i> s. s. and 3: 4 in <i>D. sinensis</i>.</p>
