Journal Title: ZooNotes - Year 2016, Vol 99, Issue 0

Abstract

The paper deals with earthworm diversity from Vitosha Mountain (Bulgaria). During the investigation 10 earthworm species were collected altogether, belonging to 7 genera. Among them, two taxa are reported for the first time from the explored region. Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny, 1826) and Lumbricus terrestris Linnaeus, 1758 are proved to be new records from the territory of Vitosha Mountain.
