The number of described species on the planet is about 1.9 million, with ca. 17,000 new annually, mostly from tropics. However, taxonomy usually as a science in crisis, lacking manpower and funding, politically acknowledged problem known Taxonomic Impediment. Using data Fauna Europaea database Zoological Record, we show that contrary to general belief, developed heavily-studied parts world are important reservoirs unknown species. In Europe, multicellular terrestrial freshwater animals being...
Enchytraeus polatdemiri sp. nov. (Enchytaeidae, Oligochaeta) was discovered in the framework of a sampling campaign benthic invertebrate fauna hyperalkaline Lake Van Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, third-largest closed lake and largest soda on Earth. It only oligochaete species found all samples. DNA sequencing included fragment mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, nuclear histone 3 (H3) gene. For comparison, specimens from laboratory cultures E. albidus Henle, 1837, widespread...
This is a catalogue of 1081 new nominal taxa and 372 combinations or names with ranks available scientific given to the oligochaetes in freshwater marine families that have been described since publication monograph by Brinkhurst & Jamieson (1971) its supplement (Brinkhurst Wetzel 1984). Eight are listed for family Alluroididae, seven Capilloventridae, 26 Haplotaxidae, 144 Lumbriculidae, 75 Naididae, two Opistocystidae, 11 Parvidrilidae, 51 Phreodrilidae, 34 Pristinidae, six...
An annotated checklist and bibliography of 197 species (representing 78 genera 26 families) non-marine polychaetes the world is presented, including synonymies, information on ecology, distribution, habitat, references to taxonomic biological literature. Over half (57%) are represented by just three families as follows: Nereididae (61 Namanereis, Namalycastis, Neanthes Hediste), Aeolosomatidae (27 species, mostly Aeolosoma) Sabellidae (24 Caobangia Manayunkia). Other well-represented taxa...
Abstract 40 oligochaete species are identified in the lowland watercourses near Ussurijsk and Vladivostok. In Razdol'naja River, Naididae common, increasing numbers enriched urban stretches where tubificids become abundant, including Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparède Tubifex tubifex (Müller). A freshwater population of Monopylephorus rubroniveus Levinsen exists there. The endemics Amur zoogeographical Province, Haber amurensis (Sokol'skaja et Hrabê) Piguetiella Sokol'skaja, redescribed....
Eight species of the genera Branchiobdella and Cirrodrilus are reported from Soviet Far East. Six them Komarovka Stream in Ussuriiski State Nature Reserve: cheni (Liu, 1964), B. domina sp.n., chosen (Yamaguchi, 1934), C. suzukii pugnax fimbriatus sp.n. Branchiobdellidans abundant this stream, occurring on crayfishes Cambaroides dauricus wladiwostokensis as well benthic samples. Two northern Amur River basin near Khabarovsk: minuta Pierantoni, 1912, quadritentacularis 1984), living schrencki...
The purpose of our contribution is to propose a robust and practical order-level classification the families Oligochaeta, that is, non-leech Clitellata. order level mandatory in Linnaean rank-based also required many internet-based biodiversity databases. However, it has received little attention oligochaete systematics, few available classifications Oligochaeta no longer represent phylogenetic relationships adequately. Our proposal based on corroborated molecular evidence takes as...
