Earthworms (Clitellata: Acanthodrilidae, Almidae, Eudrilidae, Glossoscolecidae, Ocnerodrilidae) of the coastal region of Gamba, Ogooué-Maritime Province, southwestern Gabon

Zootaxa, 2012
This is the first account of earthworms from the Gamba Complex of Protected Areas, a highly biodiverse coastal area ofequatorial Africa. We describe five new species of Dichogaster Beddard, 1888: Dichogaster (Diplothecodrilus)moussavoui sp. nov., D. (Diplothecodrilus) tchignoumbai sp. nov., D. (Diplothecodrilus) tobii sp.

Two new species ofBeddardiella(Eudrilidae: Oligochaeta: Annelida) from Nigeria

Journal of Natural History, 1996
Two new earthworms species, Beddardiella soforei n.sp. and Beddardiella numanensis n.sp., are described from Michika and Numan in north eastern Nigeria. They, like their earlier described congeners, are characterized by non-continuity of the lumen of the thecovarian duct with that of the spermatheca, the locations of two oesophageal gizzards in either ...

A new Egyptian species ofChuniodrilus(Eudrilidae, Oligochaeta) with observations on internal fertilization and parallelism with the genusStuhlmannia

Journal of Natural History, 1969
A new Egyptian species of the pareudriline genus Chuniodrilus is described and the generic definition emended to include it. A key to the six species of the genus diagnoses the new species. Evidence is presented which indicates that evolution of the female genital system for internal fertilization has closely paralleled that in the genus Stuhlmannia ...

INTERNAL FERTILIZATION AND THE FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE FEMALE AND SPERMATHECALSYSTEMS IN NEW EARTHWORMS FROM GHANA (EUDRILIDAE: OLIGOCHAETA)

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1964
The morphology of the spermathecal system of a new genus of Eudrilid earthworm from south‐eastern Ghana is described and functional details are discussed. Interconnections are traced between the spermathecal and female systems and the mechanism is described which ensures that fertilization takes place in the middle region of the oviduct at a time other

Descriptions of two new earthworm species,Iridodrilus abujaensisandIridodrilus furcothecata(Eudrilidae: Oligochaeta: Annelida) from Nigeria

South African Journal of Zoology, 1994
Two new eudriline earthworm species, Iridodrilus abujaensis and Iridodrilus furcothecata are described from collections made around the Federal Capital Territory and Wukari, Nigeria.

Descriptions of two newIridodrilusspecies and a re-examination of the earthworm generaHeliodrilusBeddard,IridodrilusBeddard andSeguniaSims (Annelida: Oligochaeta: Eudrilidae)

Journal of Natural History, 1994
This paper describes two new earthworm species, Iridodrilus codonothecoformis sp. n. and Iridodrilus condylopapillaris sp. n. and illustrates the major diagnostic features of, and the differences between, Iridodrilus roseus Beddard, 1897 and Heliodrilus lagosensis Beddard, 1890. Hitherto unnoticed features of I. roseus are also illustrated, namely that
