  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;A new lumbriculid worm,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rhynchelmis aleutensis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, is described from streams on Adak Island, Alaska. The new species does not resemble other Alaskan or Siberian&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rhynchelmis&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;species. The paired spermathecal diverticula and the morphology of the male pores and atria suggest that it is more closely related to a species group known only from the western United States, south of Canada. The latter group has been associated with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sutroa&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Eisen, 1888.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
