An annotated checklist and distribution of earthworms from Venezuela (Megadrili: Crassiclitellata)

Zootaxa, 2023
An earthworm checklist has produced 78 nominal taxa (species/subspecies) of earthworm reported to date in Venezuela. The list of nominal taxa was obtained through literature review and the distribution maps were plotted by ecoregion. The 78 species/subspecies are divided into 24 genera and 6 families.

New Ocnerodrilidae genera, species and records from Brazil (Annelida: Crassiclitellata)

Zootaxa, 2023
We describe three new species of Eukerria, six of Kerriona, one of Ocnerodrilus and two of Belladrilus (Clitellata: Ocnerodrilidae) from Brazil, mostly from wet habitats including bromeliad leaf axils, plus some from forest soils in Bahia state. We also provide new morphological and distribution data on Kerriona luederwaldti Michaelsen, 1924.

Additions to earthworms (Annelida, Crassiclitellata) from Aragua and Miranda states, Venezuela

Zootaxa, 2023
Two new species of the earthworm genus Pontoscolex found in San Casimiro County, northern Venezuela are described. Because of some morphological variability, and to improve the previous description, we redescribe Onychochaeta windlei and Rhinodrilus fuenzalidae collected at La Cortada settlement, Miranda state. Pontoscolex (Mesoscolex) juanae sp.

Contrasting phylogeographic patterns of earthworms (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae) on near-shore mediterranean islands

European Journal of Soil Biology, 2020
Abstract Comparative phylogeography is a powerful methodological approach to understand the particular evolutionary phenomena that occur in islands. This method has been rarely applied to insular earthworm communities. These soil animals show a striking dichotomy in their phylogeographic patterns: deeply divergent, regionally structured linages and ...

On the valid name of Savigny’s „earthworm” Enterion terrestre (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae)

Zootaxa
There are several long-standing nomenclatural problems within the family Lumbricidae (Bouché 1976, Sims 1983). Some have been successfully resolved recently (e.g. Nicolson & Csuzdi 2018; Popović et al. 2025) but there are a few that still need to be addressed and the name Enterion terrestre Savigny, 1826 is one of them.

On the molecular taxonomy of the Dendrobaena alpina species complex, with description of a new species (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae)

Zootaxa, 2023
The molecular phylogenetic analysis of the D. alpina species group and related taxa revealed that this group in the present form is polyphyletic. The dark-red pigmented D. alpina alpina (Rosa, 1884) specimens from the Alps form a distinct clade together with D. alpina alteclitellata (Pop, 1938) and D. clujensis Pop, 1938 (Central European clade).

Comparative phylogeography and integrative systematic revision of Iberian endemic earthworms (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae)

Zoologica Scripta, 2023
AbstractThe Iberian Peninsula and south‐western France have been postulated as centres of diversification of a wide variety of endemic earthworm species and genera within the Lumbricidae family. However, the phylogenetic position and identity of some of these endemisms is still uncertain and their phylogeographic patterns totally unknown.

Understanding the diversification and functional radiation of Aporrectodea (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae) through molecular phylogenetics of its endemic species

European Journal of Soil Biology, 2023
The genus Aporrectodea includes some of the most conspicuous earthworm species, but its taxonomic history is among the most complex within the family Lumbricidae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have produced some advances by assigning former Aporrectodea species to other monophyletic clades and by detecting species level lineages within the ...

Three new Glossoscolex (Annelida: Crassiclitellata: Glossoscolecidae) in the truncatus group from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Zootaxa, 2023
Three new earthworm species of Glossoscolex (Glossoscolex) in the truncatus species group (intra-clitellar male pores on segment 17) are described: Glossoscolex araucariaensis sp. nov., Glossoscolex cardosoi sp. nov., and Glossoscolex santarosaensis sp. nov. from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The three earthworm species were distinguished based on the
