Like insects, earthworms (Fig. 1) are among the animals Annelid worms are distinguished from other important most frequently encountered by many Floridians. Our kids worms like nematodes by having a coelum or true body play with them (Fig. 2 A,B), dissect them in middle school cavity, a circulatory system, and a body divided into biology, we fish with them, they crawl across our sidewalks segments. Other familiar annelids are the Hirudinea and live in our flower pots. Despite this, their ecological (leeches), the Polychaeta (marine bristleworms), and the and economic importance often goes unrecognized. Enchytraeids (potworms).

Pune - 413 115 Maharashtra, India *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT In vermiculture, it is mandatory to keep the feed given to earthworm moist which will enable them to eat and procreate. Water is regularly sprinkled over the feed. The water mixes in the feed and oily content of earthworms body and slowly drains out from earthworm beds. The outgoing liquid is a concentrate with nutrients which is very beneficial for plants growth. This liquid is called vermiwash. The vermiwash is potential application in sustainable development for agriculture and biotechnology. This attempt deals with assessment the physico-chemical, nutritional and biochemical status of the vermiwash obtained using the popular composting earthworm species Eudrillus eugeniae (Kinb.) (Eudrilidae: Haplotaxida) and Lampito mauritii from three different leaf litters namely, Mango (Mangifera indica), Guava (Psidium guajava) and Sapota (Achrus sapota). The results showed substantial increase in the nutrient quality of the vermiwash produced with time in all of three cases. However, the vermiwash produced from guava leaf litter showed more content of electrical conductivity, magnesium, calcium, nitrite, phosphorus, carbohydrate, protein, lipid and amino acid compared with the vermiwash produced from the other two sapota and mango leaf litter by using the both earthworm species Eudrillus eugeniae and Lampito mauritii respectively. -

Morphological and Histological Studies on the Vermicomposting Indian Earthworm Eudrilus Eugeniae

Bangalore - 560065, India Abstract: Earthworm is a potential contributor in organic waste disposal or vermicomposting. Eudrilus eugeniae collected from moist subsurface soil and under stones in the University of Agriculture Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore, India, were studied. E. eugeniae can also be utilized for protein source in animal feed. The external features, growth, reproductive morphology and histology were investigated. The Indian E. eugeniae has higher bodyweight as compared to the African counterparts, in spite of comparable lengths. Morphology of the reproductive parts and histology of the ovary and oviduct of these worms are elucidated by histological staining methods. There have been no previous reports about these clitellar earthworms from the Indian subcontinent. The histological details of the ovary reveals the presence of larger follicles towards the periphery which shows degenerative changes, while the smaller primary follicles and oocyte are concentrated in the center. Further, the posterior part of the oviduct shows the presence of dense mass of sperms in its large lumen which confirms the process of internal fertilization in Eudrilus eugeniae. -

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. The Alluroidina contains the superfamiJ.y All"uroidoidea with the fanilies Alluroididae and Syngenodrilidae. The Lurnbricina consists of five superfaniLies. -
