دانلود کتاب Native Earthworms of Australia II (Megascolecidae, Acanthodrilinae)

Earthworms contribute significantly to sustainability of our natural environment, and Australia has some remarkable forms. This review of the acanthodriline fauna completes the revision of Australia’s known earthworms of the family Megascolecidae. A previous publication on the subfamily Megascolecinae by Barrie Jamieson, similarly made available on CD, was followed by a Supplement to that CD. We are now fortunate to have a review of Australia’s acanthodriline earthworms (Megascolecidae), again presented in electronic form, and this time authored by Geoff Dyne and Barrie Jamieson. Here Australian representatives of the following genera are reviewed and new species and subspecies described:

Diplotrema Spencer, 1900
Kayarmacia Jamieson, 1997
Microscolex Rosa, 1887
Neodiplotrema Dyne, 1997
Rhododrilus Beddard, 1889
Torresiella Dyne, 1997.
Keys to genera and species are given and 178 illustrations are included.
