These species level taxa belong to Diaguita, Enantiodrilus, Fimoscolex, Glossoscolex (Assudrilus), Glossoscolex (Glossoscolex), and Holoscolex. Twenty three of these species-group taxa were described by Gilberto Righi. Full synonyms and detailed South American geographical occurrences are provided. This is the first assessment of the South American species and subspecies of the Glossoscolex genus-group.

This species was first described by German naturalist Fritz Müller in 1857 from Santa Catarina state of Brazil. It is commonly found in gardens, cropland and fallow lands. It tolerates wide range of climatic and edaphic factors due to its endogeic ecological category. P. corethrurus has high efficiency for organic matter assimilation and has ability to live in new habitat due to which it can survive even in very poor soil. The life cycle of this species is well documented and this species has economic importance due to its use in waste management. 1. Introduction There are total 505 earthworm’s species present in India; out of which 51 are exotic species [1, 2].

ABSTRACT. A reevaluation of South American oligochaetes produced 871 known species. Megadrile earthworms have rates of endemism around 90% in South America, while Enchytraeidae have less than 75% endemism, and aquatic oligochaetes have less than 40% endemic taxa in South America. Glossoscolecid species number 429 species in South America alone, a full two-thirds of the known megadrile earthworms. More than half of the South American taxa of Oligochaeta (424) occur in Brazil, being followed by Argentina (208 taxa), Ecuador (163 taxa), and Colombia (142 taxa).

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.

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).

Communities of these organisms are constituted by populations of different species assemblages. A high degree of spatio-temporal organization, with identified patches characterized by specific species assemblages, in which species coexist or co-occur according to assembly rules and/or competitive mechanisms for spatial and trophic resources occur. However, these studies have seldom been addressed. The spatio-temporal structure of a native earthworm community in a natural savanna and a grass-legume pasture in the Colombian “Llanos” was studied over a period of two years. A spatially explicit sampling design (regular grid) was used to unveil the distribution pattern of species assemblages in both systems by collecting earthworms from small soil cores (40x40x15 cm3) at three different sampling dates.

INTRODUÇÃO A Estação Ecológica de Maracá, pertencente ã Secretaria Especial do Meio Ambíen_ te, local iza-se no Município de Boa Vista, Estado de Roraima, Brasil, entre as coordena_ das de 3o15' a 3°35'N e 6l°22' a 6l°58'W. Ela ocupa todos os 92.000 ha da Ilha de Maracá no Rio Uraricoera, o qual é aqui dividido em dois canais, o Canal Maracá ao sul e o Canal Santa Rosa ao norte. Sua vegetação dominante é a floresta tropical úmida de terra firma, entremeada por pequenos campos de gramíneas, alguns pântanos e alagadiços e percorrida por diversos igarapés com formações de palmeiras buritis (Mauritia sp) por vezes bastante compactas, os buritizais. Eu coletei Oligochaeta na Ilha de Maracá em dezembro de 1979 > com auxílio da Secretaria Especial do Meio Ambiente, e em novembro de l$8j, como membro do projeto de pesquisas do Dr. João B. Ferraz (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Manaus). Nessas coletas, destinadas a trabalhos anátomo-sistemãticos, pude verificar a ocorrên­ cia de grande quantidade de minhocas pertencente a poucas espécies e que nas proximida des dos cursos de água, pântanos eburitizais são procuradas por catetos (Tayassu tayassu) e por aves diversas.

Different patterns of vertical stratification were observed for all species with a strong migration of populations to deeper layers in the dry season. The correlation between the size of the earthworms and the average depth at which they were found was not significant (p > 0.05) despite that bigger species locate deeper in the soil. The living habits and adaptive strategies of the smallest species, Ocnerodrilidae n. sp. found in both ecosystems studied are responsible for this pattern. This endogeic species is associated with organic pools of an anecic species and further studies should assess the role of this species in ecosystem functioning. Mature worms of one anecic species were located deeper than immature ones in the soil (p < 0.01**).

  • Diplopoda) of Twelve Caves in Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary
    Opusc. Zool. Budapest, 2013, 44(2): 99–106 Millipedes (Diplopoda) of twelve caves in Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary D. ANGYAL & Z. KORSÓS Dorottya Angyal and Dr. Zoltán Korsós, Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross u. 13., E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Twelve caves of Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary were examined between September 2010 and April 2013 from the millipede (Diplopoda) faunistical point of view. Ten species were found in eight caves, which consisted eutroglophile and troglobiont elements as well. The cave with the most diverse fauna was the Törökpince Sinkhole, while the two previously also investigated caves, the Abaligeti Cave and the Mánfai-kőlyuk Cave provided less species, which could be related to their advanced touristic and industrial utilization. Keywords. Diplopoda, Mecsek Mts., caves, faunistics INTRODUCTION proved to be rather widespread in the karstic regions of the former Yugoslavia (Mršić 1998, lthough more than 220 caves are known 1994, Ćurčić & Makarov 1998), the species was A from the Mecsek Mts., our knowledge on the not yet found in other Hungarian caves. invertebrate fauna of the caves in the region is rather poor.
