The species was found at three subtidal stations in the Schelde estuary in Belgium, where it was probably introduced from the Americas. We provide an overview of the species’ nomenclature, diagnostics, distribution, and ecology. Bratislavia dadayi is one of 11 non-indigenous annelids currently known to occur in the Schelde estuary. Key words: alien species; Annelida; Clitellata; Oligochaeta; Polychaeta; Belgium Introduction Annelids, and oligochaetes in particular, are a less-studied group, often overlooked when Over the last 150 years, the number of non- considering alien species. Yet the best studied native species turning up in areas far from their Annelid species, Lumbricus terrestris (L., 1758), original range has increased significantly (Bax et is now considered a widespread invasive species al.

University of Hamburg, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany ABSTRACT: Endosymbiotic associations with more than 1 bacterial phylotype are rare anlong chemoautotrophic hosts. In gutless marine oligochetes 2 morphotypes of bacterial endosymbionts occur just below the cuticle between extensions of the epidermal cells. Using phylogenetic analysis, in situ hybridization, and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis based on 16s ribosomal RNA genes, it is shown that in the gutless oligochete Olavius Ioisae, the 2 bacterial morphotypes correspond to 2 species of diverse phylogenetic origin. The larger symbiont belongs to the gamma subclass of the Proteobac- tend and clusters with other previously described chemoautotrophic endosymbionts. The smaller syrnbiont represents a novel phylotype within the alpha subclass of the Proteobacteria. This is distinctly cllfferent from all other chemoautotropl-uc hosts with symbiotic bacteria which belong to either the gamma or epsilon Proteobacteria. In addition, a third bacterial morphotype as well as a third unique phylotype belonging to the spirochetes was discovered in these hosts. Such a phylogenetically diverse assemblage of endosymbiotic bacteria is not known from other marine invertebrates.

In diagnostic features of the genital organs, the new species differs from other Olavius species in having bipartite atria and very long, often folded spermathecae, but lacking penial chaetae.The Elba form of O. algarvensis has some structural differences from the original type described from the Algarve coast (Portugal).The two species from Elba share characteristics not previously reported for gutless oligochaetes: the lumen of the body cavity is unusually constrict- ed and often filled with chloragocytes, and the symbiotic bacteria are often enclosed in vacuoles of the epidermal cells. Regarding the bacterial ultrastructure, the species share three similar morphotypes as symbionts; additionally, in O. algarvensis a rare fourth type was found.The diver- gence of the symbioses in O. algarvensis, and the coincidence in structural

Janieson Departnent of Zoology University of Queensland Brisbane, Australia 4067 Received September20, L977 ABSTMCT: The nethods of Hennig for deducing phylogeny have been adapted for computer and a phylogran has been constructed together with a stereo- phylogran utilizing principle coordinates, for alL farnilies of opisthopor- ous oligochaetes, that is, the Oligochaeta with the exception of the Lunbriculida and Tubificina. A phenogran based on the sane attributes conpares unfavourably with the phyLogralnsin establishing an acceptable classification., Hennigrs principle that sister-groups be given equal rank has not been followed for every group to avoid elevation of the more plesionorph, basal cLades to inacceptabl.y high ranks, the 0ligochaeta being retained as a Subclass of the class Clitellata. Three orders are recognized: the LumbricuLida and Tubificida, which were not conputed and the affinities of which require further investigation, and the Haplotaxida, computed. The Order Haplotaxida corresponds preciseLy with the Suborder Opisthopora of Michaelsen or the Sectio Diplotesticulata of Yanaguchi. Four suborders of the Haplotaxida are recognized, the Haplotaxina, Alluroidina, Monil.igastrina and Lunbricina. The Haplotaxina and Monili- gastrina retain each a single superfanily and fanily. The Alluroidina contains the superfamiJ.y All"uroidoidea with the fanilies Alluroididae and Syngenodrilidae. The Lurnbricina consists of five superfaniLies.

Pacific Region Washington, DC 20240 911 NE 11th Ave Portland, Oregon Dear Secretary Salazar, Friends of the Clearwater, Center for Biological Diversity, Palouse Prairie Foundation, Palouse Audubon, Palouse Group of the Sierra Club and Steve Paulson formally petition to list the Giant Palouse Earthworm (Driloleirus americanus) as a threatened or endangered species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (”ESA”), 16 U.S.C. §1531 et seq. This petition is filed under 5 U.S.C. 553(e) and 50 CFR 424.14 (1990), which grant interested parties the right to petition for issuance of a rule from the Secretary of Interior. Petitioners also request that critical habitat be designated for the Giant Palouse Earthworm concurrent with the listing, pursuant to 50 CFR 424.12, and pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 553). The Giant Palouse Earthworm (D. americanus) is found only in the Columbia River Drainages of eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Only four positive collections of this species have been made within the last 110 years, despite the fact that the earthworm was historically considered “very abundant” (Smith 1897). The four collections include one between Moscow, Idaho and Pullman, Washington, one near Moscow Mountain, Idaho, one at a prairie remnant called Smoot Hill and a fourth specimen near Ellensberg, Washington (Fender and McKey- Fender, 1990, James 2000, Sánchez de León and Johnson-Maynard, 2008).

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF David Randall Strehiow for the degree of Master of Science in the School of Oceanography presentedon 3 May 1982 Title: The Relation of.Tidal Height and Sediment Type to the Inter- tidal Distributi Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: .J. Gonor The taxonomy of intertidal oligochaetès, and the relationships between oligochaete species distributions, tidal height, and sediment type, were studied in detail for a sand and mud flat in lower Coos Bay, Oregon. Eighteen species, representing four families, were identified. Three species of Enchytraeidae (Marionina vaucheriae, Marionina callianassae, and Marionina gpnori) and one species of Tubificidae (Aktedrilus oregpnensis) are new to science. A preliminary description of a new family, Psamotheriidae, based on Psarrrnotheriuni hastatus n.g. n.sp. is given. Other species present were Marionina vancouverensis, M. sjaelandica, N. subterranea, and N. achaeta (Enchytraeidae); Aktedrilus locyi, Li.mnodriloides monothecus, L. victoriensis, L. vérrucosus, Tubificoides coatesae, and T. pseudogaster (Tubificidae); and Paranais litoralis (Naididae). Individuals of Enchytraeus sp. and Lumbricillus spp. (Enchytraeidae) were found but were not fully mature, and therefore could not be identified to species. Nine of the eighteen species are known oniy from the northeast Pacific littoral zone, indicating the existence of a distinct regthnal oligochaete fauna. Earlier studies of the Enchytraeidae (Coates and Ellis 1981) and Tubificidae (Brinkhurst and Baker 1979) support this conclusion. Distinct oligochaete species assemblages were closely associated with physical habitat types defined by tidal exposure and sediment type. The distributions of species were not correlated with each other or with physical habitat types, however. Tide levels at which large changes in maximum continuous tidal exposure or submergence occur (critical tide levels) are strongly associated with.

  • Checklist of New Zealand Earthworms Updated from Lee (1959) by R.J
    Checklist of New Zealand Earthworms updated from Lee (1959) by R.J. Blakemore August, 2006 COE fellow, Soil Ecology Group, Yokohama National Univeristy, Japan. Summary This review is based on Blakemore (2004) that updated the work completed over 40 years earlier by Lee (1959) as modified by Blakemore in Lee et al. , (2000) and in Glasby et al. (2007/8) based on the information presented at the "Species 2000" meeting held Jan. 2000 at Te Papa Museum in Wellington, New Zealand. In the current checklist Acanthodrilidae, Octochaetidae and Megascolecidae sensu Blakemore (2000b) are all given separate family status. Whereas Lee (1959) listed approximately 193 species, the current list has about 199 taxa. Because many of the natives have few reports, or are based on only a few specimens, approximately 77 are listed as "threatened" or "endangered" in Dept. Conservation threatened species list (see www.doc.govt.nz/Conservation/001~Plants-and-Animals/006~Threatened-species/Terrestrial-invertebrate-(part-one).asp April, 2005) and three species are detailed in McGuinness (2001). Further studies such as those of Springett & Grey (1998) are required. Currently I seek funding to complete my database into an interactive guide to species, to use to conduct surveys in New Zealand. Some of the changes in Blakemore (2004) from Lee (1959) are: • Microscolex macquariensis (Beddard, 1896) is removed from the list because it is known only from Macquarie Island, which is now claimed as Australian territory (see Blakemore, 2000b). • Megascolides orthostichon (Schmarda, 1861) is removed from the fauna as Fletcher (1886: 524) reported that “on the authority of Captain Hutton” this species was not from New Zealand and may be from Mt Wellington in Tasmania (see Blakemore, 2000b).

In this study, we evaluated the phylo- genetic status of Naidinae, and examined the phylogenetic relationships within the group. Sequence data from two mitochondrial genes (12S rDNA and 16S rDNA), and one nuclear gene (18S rDNA), were used. Sequences were obtained from 27 naidine species, 24 species from the other tubiWcid subfamilies, and Wve outgroup taxa. New sequences (in all 108) as well as GenBank data were used. The data were analysed by parsimony and Bayesian inference. The tree topologies emanating from the diVerent analyses are congruent to a great extent. Naidinae is not found to be monophyletic. The naidine genus Pristina appears to be a derived group within a clade consisting of several genera (Ainudrilus, Epirodrilus, Monopylephorus, and Rhyacodrilus) from another tubiWcid subfamily, Rhyacodrilinae. These results dem- onstrate the need for a taxonomic revision: either Ainudrilus, Epirodrilus, Monopylephorus, and Rhyacodrilus should be included within Naidinae, or Pristina should be excluded from this subfamily.

  • A Test of Monophyly of the Gutless Phallodrilinae (Oligochaeta
    A test of monophyly of the gutless Phallodrilinae (Oligochaeta, Tubificidae) and the use of a 573-bp region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene in analysis of annelid phylogeny JOHAN A. A. NYLANDER,CHRISTER ERSEÂ US &MARI KAÈ LLERSJOÈ Accepted 7 Setember 1998 Nylander, J. A. A., ErseÂus, C. & KaÈllersjoÈ , M. (1999) A test of monophyly of the gutless Phallodrilinae (Oligochaeta, Tubificidae) and the use of a 573 bp region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I sequences in analysis of annelid phylogeny. Ð Zoologica Scripta 28, 305±313. A 573-bp region of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) of two species of Inanidrilus ErseÂus and four species of Olavius ErseÂus (Phallodrilinae, Tubificidae) is used in a parsimony analysis together with a selection of 35 other annelids (including members of Polychaeta, Pogonophora, Aphanoneura, and the clitellate taxa Tubificidae, Enchytraeidae, Naididae, Lumbriculidae, Haplotaxidae, Lumbricidae, Criodrilidae, Branchiobdellida and Hirudinea), and with two molluscs as outgroups. The data support the monophyly of the Olavius and Inanidrilus group, with a monophyletic Inanidrilus. However, parsimony jackknife analyses show that most of the other groups are unsupported by the data set, thus revealing a large amount of homoplasy in the selected gene region. Practically no information is given of within/between family relationships except for a few, closely related species. This suggests that the analysed COI region is not useful, when used alone, for inferring higher level relationships among the annelids. Johan A. A.
