Lumbriculidae
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Annelida
Class: Clitellata
Subclass: Oligochaeta
Order: Lumbriculida
Family: Lumbriculidae

The Lumbriculidae are a family of microdrile oligochaetes common in fresh-water environments, including streams, lakes, marshes, wells and ground-water. They should not be confused with the earthworm family Lumbricidae. Many species and even genera are highly endemic, mainly in Siberia and the western parts of North America.

The family currently contains the following genera and species:

  • Bichaeta (one species)
Bichaeta sanguinea
  • Cookidrilus (one species)
Cookidrilus speluncaeus
  • Eclipidrilus (eight species)
Subgenus Eclipidrilus

Note that *Lumbriculus lineatus and *Lumbriculus codensis, which are sometime seen on the internet, do not exist; both species belong to the Enchytraeid genus Lumbricillus, and ITIS (and other similar reports) have simply written the wrong genus. The old genus Thinodrilus is presently considered to be a part of Lumbriculus, but may have subgeneric status. If so, it contains (at least) the species L. ambiguus, L. inconstans and L. genitosetosus. The status of many of the Lumbriculus species listed above is uncertain.
