“…Pristina minuta (Stephenson, 1914) (Figure 3b) According to Brinkhurst & Kathman (1983) and Brinkhurst & Marchese (1989), P. minuta can be a synonym of P. osborni due to the similarities in the setae. In Christoffersen (2007) it appears as a synonym of P. osborni, thus having the same geographic distribution.…”

Data resulting from species inventories shed light on the richness and distribution of various groups. In Minas Gerais, work on inventory and distribution of the oligochaetes of lotic environments in preserved areas are non-existent. Therefore, this study aimed to inventory the limnic oligochaetes fauna of first-order streams located in four preserved areas, to expand knowledge of the ecology and distribution of this group. In total, 19 taxa were inventoried, belonging to the families Naididae and Enchytraeidae and the superorder Megadrili (earthworms), with the genus Pristina having the largest number of species. The number of species found in this investigation corresponds to 22% of oligochaetes species recorded in Brazilian aquatic environments. The results obtained add important knowledge of the distribution of some oligochaetes species in Brazil, represent the first records of species for the four preserved areas studied and confirm the first occurrence of various species in the state.

Em Minas Gerais, trabalhos sobre inventário e distribuição de oligoquetas de ambientes lóticos em áreas preservadas são inexistentes. Dessa forma, este estudo objetivou inventariar a fauna de oligoquetas límnicos de córregos de primeira ordem localizados em quatro áreas preservadas, visando ampliar as informações sobre ecologia e distribuição deste grupo. Foram inventariados 19 taxa pertencentes às famílias Naididae, Enchytraeidae e à superordem Megadrili, sendo o gênero Pristina o de maior número de espécies. O número de espécies encontradas neste trabalho corresponde a 22% das espécies de oligoquetas registrados em ambientes aquáticos brasileiros. Os resultados obtidos ampliam o conhecimento sobre a distribuição de algumas espécies de oligoquetas no Brasil, representam os primeiros registros de espécies para as quatro áreas preservadas estudadas e confirmam a primeira ocorrência de várias espécies no Estado. Palavras-chave : biodiversidade, Campos Rupestres, Mata Atlântica, Naididae, folhiço, oligoquetas, Enchytraeidae. Martins et al. ( , 2011 and Suriani-Affonso et al. (2011), the number in the state has increased to 23. The true number is probably even higher, because ecological studies often record new species not considered in official records. In this context, the present study aimed to inventory the limnic oligochaete fauna in first-order streams in preserved areas, to expand the information about the ecology and distribution of this group.

Limnodrilus amblysetus sp.nov. (Tubificidae) is described and compared with other Chinese Limnodrilus species as well as Limnodrilus silvani which is recorded from California and Oregon, U.S.A. The presence of other previously known Chinese species is confirmed. Polymorphism in the development of dorsal chaetae, already known for the Naididae and for Tubificinae (Tubificidae), is now suspected for Rhyacodrilinae (Tubificidae). The oligochaete fauna of China resembles that of India, Japan,and the eastern Soviet Union. Some tropical and subtropical Naididae may yet be discovered from the southern provinces, some cold-water Tubificidae and Lumbriculidae from the northeast and those elevated parts of the far west of China that are not deserts.
