Hello Todd

You may ask Patricks Otomo lecturer at the Department of Zoology and Entomology, University of the Free State, South Africa. The other person may help you is Csaba Csuzdi from Hungry. You will find both these experts of earthworms on ResearchGate.

Good luck and all the best

Hi Elaheh.

I will find out from Patricks if he has the keys or had someone to identify the earthworms he using in his studies.

Thank you very much for your help. Am grateful

Dear Todd,

For Southern Africa Danuta Plisko have published keys for several SA native genera. For Central African Eudrilidae you can find a genus level key (not quite up-to-date but still useful) in Sims (1987) and for dichogastrids in my book of 2010.

Dear Csaba,

That's good news for me.

How do I get hold of your book?

Dear Csaba and Todd

Is that book of 2010 entitled: A monograph of the Paleotropical Benhamiinae earthworms (Annelida: Oligochaeta, Acanthodrilidae)? if this is the one Csaba means, it would easily be accessible in the ResearchGate page of Csaba.

Best regards

Elaheh

here is the link: Book A monograph of the Paleotropical Benhamiinae earthworms (Ann...

And here is the Eudrilidae key from Reg Sims. (Not the best scan but readable)

The last couple of years also Thembeka C. Nxele contributed a lot on South African earthworms. I have some papers by her. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Thembeka_Nxele

Dear Csaba,

I managed to download your paper. It is much easier to understand unlike that for Sims. Thanks for your help.

Dear Ton,

The profile you referred me to has the right information I was looking for. I am very grateful for your support.
