The earthworm Amynthas morrisi (Beddard, 1892) is a cosmopolitan species. It is mainly distributed in the mainland of South China, and its genetic structures had never been concerned. The earthworm specimens were collected systematically in this study, hence 88 A. morrisi new records from 30 locations were discovered. The haplotype network analysis and phylogenetic analysis shows that there are 11 haplotypes and four lineages in A. morrisi.
