The species of the genera Spermophorodrilus Bouché, 1975 and Healyella omodeo & Rota, 1989 posses a set of characters that distinguish them from any other group of the family Lumbricidae, i.e. absence of spermathecae, short annular clitellum devoid of tubercula and the area occupied by spermatophores attached near the male pores that open in the posterior part of segment 15. The members of these two genera are mainly endemic for Anatolia, with only three species being exception. Healyella…

Biogeographical parterns of terricolous oligochaetes in Turkey (Annelida: Clitellata: Lumbricidae, Enchytraeidae)

Recent surveys of terricolous oligochaetes in Turkey have led to the discovery of a taxon of Lumbricidae endemic to Anatolia, northern Greece and Epirus, which undoubtedly deserves subfamilial rank.

Earthworms of Turkey

The faunistic sample offers an interesting picture of the fauna of Turkey, which appears to be strongly linked to that of Caucasus; less evident but equally certain are relationships with the Carpatho‐Balkan fauna.

Earthworms of Turkey. II.

In the southwestern vilayets the fauna is poorer than in the northern ones, due to the absence of the endemic subfamily Sper‐mophorodrilinae and to a much lesser number of species of Den‐drobaena.

Distribution of endemic earthworm species in Turkey

As expected, the endemism is not distributed evenly all over the territory; the level of endemic species richness is decreasing from the northern part of Anatolia through the Anatolian part of the Marmara region, through the Mediterranean region, and up to south-east Anatolia.

Checklist of earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) from Bulgaria—a review

For the first time, comprehensive information on distribution and habitats of all lumbricids in the country is given and is useful for further monitoring studies of earthworm diversity and abundance in relation to environmental issues, land use and climate change.

An annotated checklist of the earthworm fauna of Turkey (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae)

A checklist of the Lumbricid earthworms in Turkey indicates a highly specialized earthworm fauna predominated by the representatives of the genera Healyella Omodeo & Rota, 1989 and Dendrobaena Eisen, 1874.
