Megadrile Earthworm Taxa Introduced to South African Soils (Oligochaeta: Acanthodrilidae, Eudrilidae, Glossoscolecidae, Lumbricidae, Megascolecidae, Ocnerodrilidae)

African Invertebrates, 2010
ABSTRACT The occurrence of 50 earthworm species of 22 genera from six families, namely Acanthodrilidae (Acanthodrilinae, Benhamiinae), Eudrilidae (Eudrilinae, Pareudrilinae), Glossoscolecidae, Lumbricidae, Megascolecidae, and Ocnerodrilidae, not native to South African soils, is reported.

Population dynamics of Hyperiodrilus africanus (Oligochaeta, Eudrilidae) in Ivory Coast

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2005
The population dynamics of the exotic earthworm Hyperiodrilus africanus was investigated in a secondary forest of the Natural Reserve of Lamto (Ivory Coast) over a period of 19 mo. The objectives were to assess seasonal abundance patterns and to determine the adaptive strategies of this species.

A taxonomic review of the African megadrile genus Stuhlmannia (Eudrilidae, Oligochaeta)

Journal of Zoology, 1967
The genus Stuhlmannia Michaelsen 1890 (Pareudrilinae, Eudrilidae) is redefined and a key to species given in the light of the author's examination of material of 24 of the 25 species previously recognized. A discussion of the general morphology of the genus is also included. Twenty‐two species are retained and five subspecies of S.

Eudrilinae from southern Nigeria and a taximetric appraisal of the family Eudrilidae (Oligochaeta)

Journal of Zoology, 1971
A small collection of Eudrilid earthworms from Nigeria is reported. Two species proved to be of special interest, the first, lagosensis Beddard, is usually placed in the genus Hyperio‐drilus and the second is new to science. Their affinities and the uncertainties about the classification of the Eudrilidae are discussed.

An Annotated Key Separating Foreign Earthworm Species from the Indigenous South African taxa (Oligochaeta: Acanthodrilidae, Eudrilidae, Glossoscolecidae, Lumbricidae, Megascolecidae, Microchaetidae, Ocnerodrilidae and Tritogeniidae)

African Invertebrates, 2015
ABSTRACT A functional guide for the separation of foreign earthworm taxa (intentionally or coincidentally recorded in South African soils) from native South African taxa is provided. Forty-four earthworm species recorded from South African soils, known as ‘exotics’ or introduced, which were under secondary attention for many years, are placed in the ...

Effect of coffee residues on growth and reproduction of Hyperiodrilus africanus (Oligochaeta, Eudrilidae) in Ivory Coast

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1998
Hyperiodrilus africanus (Beddard) is a 12-cm to 16-cm-long earthworm, which is widely distributed in West and Central Africa. It lives in the upper 10–20 cm of the soil, and feeds on a mixture of soil and above-ground litter. Cocoons obtained in the laboratory hatched on average 17 days after deposition and produced two juveniles on average.
