Dear Prakash Mallappa Munnoli

Thanks for your response. Only I have a specimen, and I have not any experience for dissection for small internal organs, such as nephridial bladders and ... until now.

Csaba Csuzdi

Surely an anomalous specimen with Mp on 13! (In Lumbricidae only the Eiseniella tetraedra complex has Mp. on 13). It would be great to see the prostomium. If it is tanylobic and let's say that it has Mp. on 15, than cl: on 27-32. Typical L. rubellus. The color and the size fit but rubellus usually has a much smaller Mp. So without dissecting this is all what can be said.

Dear Csaba Csuzdi

It is open epilobous.

I can give more information about it. I found it in a soil with fully of organic material with high humidity (landfill of our food waste in yard). Also I found it with other species such as E.fetida, D.hortensis, D.veneta, D.rubidus or Amynthas corticis in a place (1m*1m).
