“…In African great lakes, the Phreodrilidae were represented until recently by only one species (Insulodrilus tanganyikae Brinkhurst, 1970, in Lake Tanganyika). New species have been discovered now in Lake Tanganyika as well as in Lake Malawi (Martin & Brinkhurst, 1994;Martin & Giani, 1995b).…”

By their antiquity, history, rarity, great depth in many instances and the presence of highly diverse faunas with many endemics, ancient lakes constitute ecosystems of a special nature, clearly apart from the large majority of extant lakes. While the fauna of these lakes is becoming better and better known for various animals groups, the Oligochaeta are still poorly known. Tubificidae and Naididae are found in each ancient lake. On the other hand, some families are restricted to only one lake, such as Aeolosomatidae and Proppapidae in Lake Baikal or Eudrilidae and Ocnerodrilidae (megadriles) in Lake Tanganyika, but such a distribution is probably due to a lack of knowledge or sampling biases. All ancient lakes have an endemic oligochaete fauna except Lake Kinneret (Israel). The oldest, Lake Baikal (20-25 Ma), holds the most abundant and diverse oligochaete fauna, in which species flocks are even recognizable or suspected. In contrast, the oligochaete fauna of the slightly younger Lake Tanganyika is very scarce. This is partly due to an obvious lack of studies, as the oligochaete fauna of other great African lakes is virtually unknown, but this might be the result of an environment in these lakes less favourable to oligochaetes. Some factors likely to interact with speciation in oligochaetes are discussed but nothing can be concluded to date. A recent interest in African great lakes revealed a more diverse oligochaete fauna than previously assumed but a better study of this fauna is still badly needed.

New Phreodrilidae (Annelida: Clitellata) from Tasmanian estuaries

A new species of Phreodrilidae from Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania is described. Astacopsidrilus ostiensis sp. nov. is unique in possessing the combination of long, tightly folded atria, modified spermarhecal chaetae and ventral chaetae that are almost simple pointed. These are the first phreodrilids to be recorded from estuarine or intertidal habitats, other than two species collected from beaches, on Subantarctic Campbell Island, for which the habitat data are ambiguous. The existence of other Phreodrilidae from Tasmanian estuaries, of which we do not have sufficient material for description, is noted. Key Words: Clitellata, Phreodrilidae, estuaries, Tasmania, new species. INTRODUCTIONIn recent decades, hundreds of new oligochaetes in the families T ubificidae and Enchytraeidae have been described from marine and estuarine environments in Australia and elsewhere (e.g. Jamieson 1977, Erseus 1981, 1990a,b, 1993, 1997a,b, Erseus & Jamieson 1981, Coates 1990, Healy & Coates 1997, exceeding the number of species of these families from inland waters. By contrast, of the 45 described species of Phreodrilidae and others awaiting description in the first author's collection, almost all appear to be restricted to inland freshwater habitats such as streams and lakes (Martin & Brinkhurst 1994, Giani et al. 1995, Martin & Giani 1995, Pinder & Brinkhurst 1997.Of the phreodrilids, the only record of Insulodrilus litoralis (Michaelsen 1924) is of the type specimens which were collected at Perserverence Harbour, Subantarctic Campbell Island, from under a rock on the beach at ebb-tide. While this may be a marine littoral species there is no information about salinity at the type locality. Astacopsidrilus campbellianus (Benham 1909) was also collected on a Campbell Island beach, but near the outlet of a freshwater stream and the species is common in freshwater streams of Macquarie Island, 900 km west of Campbell Island (Marchant & Lillywhite 1994). Finally, the type locality of Antarctodrilus niger (Beddard 1894) is given as Port Stanley, Falkland Island, by its original author, but Michaelsen (1900) expanded on this, giving the locality as "zwischen Algen in einem langsam fliessenden Bach" (among algae in a slow flowing brook). All other phreodrilids identified as A. niger (or its synonyms) are from inland streams and rivers (Beddard 1894, Goddard & Malan 1913, Brinkhurst 1966, 1982.The new species and other, unnamed, material described in this paper were collected from brackish reaches of estuaries in Tasmania. These were part of a collection of oligochaetes obtained during an extensive biological study of Tasmanian estuaries (Edgar et al. 1998), which was placed at the second author's disposal. MATERiALS AND METHODSThe material used in this study was collected by Neville Barrett (Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute) and kindly forwarded to us by Graham Edgar (University of Tasmania). The specimens were fixed in formalin, and subsequently transferred to 80% ethyl alcohol. Some worms were stained in alcoholic paracarmine...
