Baikalodrilus inflatus ( Michaelsen, 1901) . Basionym: Tubifex inflatus Michaelsen, 1901: 141–145 ; figs 8–10.
Remark: Probably a species complex.
Remarks: Baikalodrilus discolor brevipectinatus is likely a species on its own, distinct from B. discolor s.s. by hairs (pilose vs. smooth) and ectal tip of needles (pectinate vs. simple pointed). These morphological characters were shown to be significant at the specific level.
EVOLUTIONARY IMPLICATIONS
Phylogenetic analyses provide valuable insights into evolutionary patterns of the species flock. Two aspects can be addressed: the timing of the evolutionary radiation of the group in the geological history of Lake Baikal, and evolution of body size in the evolutionary history of the species flock.
