“…Rarely has this species been found inhabiting soils (Blakemore 2015) and not compost beds, and its survival under these conditions probably requires high moisture and the presence of abundant litter, or organic resources, which are its major food source. The second species, H. africanus can also be found frequently in compost-beds and high organic content soils, but its distribution is more restricted, being known from Western (Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Gabon) and Central Africa (Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola) (Tondoh & Lavelle 2005) and Brazil (Righi 1972;Sousa et al 2020).…”

In the current paper we present an updated checklist of all the megadrile earthworms (Crassiclitellata: Annelida) in the world, and notes on the distribution of families worldwide. Biogeographic responses to geological phenomena including plate tectonics, as well as to past and present climate and habitat distributions, are the main factors determining the present distribution of earthworm families. A total of ca. 5,738 species/subspecies (5,406 species and 332 unique subspecies; i.e., not counting the nomino-typical subspecies) belonging to 23 families (including one non-crassiclitellate family: Moniligastridae) are currently recognized worldwide, of which three families (Tritogeniidae and Kazimierzidae from Southern Africa and Arecoidae, a new family from Brazil described herein), 35 genera and close to 1200 new taxa (including subspecies) were described in the 21st century. Nonetheless, the large number of still undescribed species will likely increase this value to well over 8,000 species. Ten families are monospecific and/or monogeneric and have a mostly restricted distribution. On the other hand, more than 87 widespread cosmopolitan species have been catalogued, some of them with important invasive potential, belonging mainly to families Lumbricidae, Acanthodrilidae, Benhamiidae, Megascolecidae, Rhinodrilidae and Ocnerodrilidae. Taxonomic housekeeping was performed for the preoccupied Rhinodrilidae genus Tairona Righi – herein substituted by Taironina nom. nov., and Guarani camaqua Rodríguez & Lima was reinstated and removed from synonymy with Criodrilus lacuum Hoffmeister, 1845, resulting in a wider definition of the Almidae family. Furthermore, Amynthas maximalis nom. nov. is proposed herein as a substitution name for the preoccupied name Amynthas maximus Qiu & Dong, 2019, and Arecoidae is proposed herein as a new monotypic family for the aquamegadrile species Areco reco Righi, Ayres & Bittencourt, 1978.

The scientific importance of Dr. Eugène Leloup, one of the key biologists of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in the past century, is documented through his scientific output. We overviewed the scientific career of Dr. E. Leloup by listing his publications, the taxa introduced therein and, when possible, their taxonomic and nomenclatural status as well as their physical whereabouts. An annotated list of his eponyms is also provided.

“…Rhinodrilus buree sp. nov., está cercana a R. senex (Righi, 1984a) por la presencia de 2 pares de glándulas prostáticas. Sin embargo, se distancian porque en R. senex, el campo genital masculino tiene otras características, además, difieren en la forma, tamaño de la cerda común, genital y las espermatecas, no tiene vesículas seminales y presenta 5 pares de corazones.…”

“…Rhinodrilus muruiborane sp. nov., está estrechamente relacionada con R. appuni appuni (Michaelsen, 1892), R. romani (Michaelsen, 1928) y R. senex (Righi, 1984a), por la ubicación del clitelo y se diferencia de éstas por la posición de los tubérculos de la pubertad, el número, forma y tamaño de las espermatecas (3 pares vs. 2), posición de los poros masculinos, la transición esófago intestino y el inicio del tiflosol. https://doi.org/10.…”

Se revisaron las características externas y se hicieron disecciones dorsales para observar estructuras internas de 5 especies de Oligochaeta de la Amazonía colombiana. A partir de ésto, se describieron 5 nuevas especies de los géneros Rhinodrilus y Diachaeta. Rhinodrilus alecrisus sp. nov., se diferencia por la presencia de 1 par de espermatecas en el segmento 8 y 1 par de glándulas prostáticas en los segmentos 19-20; Rhinodrilus buree sp. nov., por 2 pares de espermatecas en los segmentos 8-9 y 2 pares de glándulas prostáticas en los segmentos 19-20; Rhinodrilus muruiborane sp. nov., por presentar la posición de los tubérculos de la pubertad, el número, forma y tamaño de las espermatecas, y Rhinodrilus sinchi sp. nov., por la presencia de 1 par de glándulas prostáticas en los segmentos 19-20 y 1 solo par de poros de las espermatecas en el intersegmento 6/7; Diachaeta (Amazo) sabalomurui sp. nov., se diferencia por
