Abstract

Results of recent earthworm collectings in Bulgaria are presented. During the investigations altogether 18 species have been registered. Dendrobaena platyura (Fitzinger, 1833) is a new record for the country, and with D. hrabei (Černosvitov, 1934) and Octodrilus transpadanus (Rosa, 1884) also for the region of Stara Planina (Balkan) Mts. D. hrabei, D. depressa (Rosa, 1893), D. octaedra (Savigny, 1826) and Eiseniella tetraedra (Savigny, 1826) represent new records for Pirin Mts.
