	Oligochaeta
		Family Lumbricidae- earthworms, the clitellum begins on segment 18 or more posterior, the intertine has an anterior gizzard.
		Family Sparganophilidae- one genus, Sparganophilus, sometimes treated as a subfamily of Glossoscolecidae.
		The clitellum begins on segment 25 or more anterior, the intestine lacks an anterior gizzard, long, slender, unpigmented worms living in mud, often associated with Sparganium.

		I offered three choices,Clade #1 the Megascolecidae, Clade #2 the Acanthodrilidae, and Clade# 3 the Glossoscolecidae (rather than the larger chioce 3 in the text I posted here earlier).
		There are many willing collaborators in the Western Hemisphere (Caribbean islands, eastern/southern USA mostly done), Australia-NZ (mostly done), South Pacific (good start on Fiji, Samoa), potential cooperation/collaboration in India (much done- some gaps), good contacts for starting in Madagascar, but so far no expressions of interest from persons working on African genera.
		Advantages: the strong list of participants, a lot of “by-catch” possible in many areas (clade 1 in Aust-NZ, Eudrilidae in Africa, some Glossoscolecidae in Brazil and parts of north Neotropical; Lumbricidae, Komarekionidae, Lutodrilidae, Sparganophilidae in North America; Ocnerodrilidae in the Americas, Africa and India; Kynotidae in Madagascar, Moniligastridae in Asia.

		In temperate zone areas, most commonly seen earthworms are lumbricids ((Click link for more info and facts about Lumbricidae) Lumbricidae), mostly due to the recent rapid spread of a relatively few European species, but there are several other families, e.g.
		(Click link for more info and facts about Megascolecidae) Megascolecidae, (Click link for more info and facts about Sparganophilidae) Sparganophilidae, Glossoscolecidae, Haplotaxidae, and others.
		These other families are often very different from the lumbricids in (Manner of acting or conducting yourself) behavior, (The branch of the biological sciences dealing with the functioning of organisms) physiology and (The type of environment in which an organism or group normally lives or occurs) habitat.

		For populations of Amazonian areas, different species of insects and other invertebrates serve as nourishing food sources.
		Here, we document the composition and nutritional quality of some invertebrates consumed in Venezuelan Amazonia, including termites (Isoptera) and earthworms (Glossoscolecidae) eaten by the Ye'Kuana (Makiritare) and caterpillars (Lepidoptera) and grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) consumed by the Yanomamo.
		Consumption of 100 g of any of these invertebrates contributed 1.2-9.4 percent of the daily fat requirement and 26-144 percent of the protein daily requirement for an adult male.

		Both genes place Criodrilus lacuum at a marginal position thus indicating it to be more primitive and distinct than the other species analysed.
		Therefore, its separation from the Lumbricidae to the family Criodrilidae or Glossoscolecidae (Oligochaeta) is supported by these genetic characters.
		The 16S sequences place C. lacuum very close to Eiseniella tetraedra, like in Pop's classification.

		ABSTRACT: In the area of the Parque Zoobotânico of Universidade Federal do Acre and in other two areas in Rio Branco, Acre it was developed a fieldwork on the migration of Chibui bari (Glossoscolecidae, Oligochaeta) from December 1982 to March 1984.
		The temperature, the pH, the moisture of the soil and also the monthly precipitation were determined during the period of study.

		Christienne Pereira (Environmental and Plant Biology) - I have recently completed an M.S. degree at Cornell University in soil and crop sciences.
		I studied the effects of large earthworms (Family Glossoscolecidae, one to two m long) in various land-use systems in the Central Brazilian Amazon on soil phosphorus as part of the NASA LBA-Eco project and as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow.
		I am now working with the Cooperative State Research Education and Extension Service (CSREES).

		This study presents the first survey of earthworm species (Oligochaeta) from Tripura, a north-eastern state of India.
		A total of seventeen species belonging to five families were recorded: Megascolecidae (Metaphire posthuma, M. planata, M. houlleti, Lampito mauritii, Perionyx excavatus, Amynthas alexandri, Polypheretima elongata), Octochaetidae (Eutyphoeus gammiei, E. turaensis, E. scutarius, E. gigas, Dichogaster modiglianii), Moniligastridae (Drawida nepalensis, D. limella, D. papillifera), Almidae (Glyphidrilus spelaeotes) and Glossoscolecidae (Pontoscolexcorethrurus).
		Their distribution, density and diversity, mainly in three different ecosystems (pasture, compost pit and sewage system) are discussed in relation to some of the ecological factors and soil type of the region.
