摘要

Elaboration of the earthworm material collected on the Seychelles, Mauritius, Réunion, Mayotte and Sri Lanka islandsresulted in recording 20 species altogether. Among them, the ocnerodrilid Maheina braueri (Michaelsen, 1897) endemic to Mahé(Seychelles) and the megascolecid Nellogaster bahli (Stephenson, 1925) endemic to Sri Lanka were reported for the first timesince their original description. The material also contained some enigmatic juvenile specimens from Mayotte, most resemblingthe genus Diporochaeta.
