Systematic revision of Gatesona (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae), an endemic earthworm genus from the Massif Central (France)

The Massif Central in France could potentially harbor numerous ancient endemic lineages owing to its long history of continuous geological stability. Several endemic earthworm species inhabit the area, with Allolobophora (Gatesona) chaetophora, Helodrilus (Acystodrilus) and Avelona ligra showing hints of a common evolutionary origin. However, the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic status of the species remain to be studied through integrative molecular and morphological methods. To this end, eight species including most of the known species and subspecies of All. (Gatesona), Helodrilus (Acystodrilus) musicus, and Avelona ligra were sequenced for a set of five molecular markers. The species were grouped on the basis of the molecular findings in a phylogenetic framework. All. (Gatesona) was included within the same clade as Helodrilus (Acystodrilus) and Avelona, separated from Allolobophora sensu stricto, supporting its status as a good genus. Branch lengths and average pairwise genetic distances suggested the subspecies of All. (Gatesona) chaetophora examined should be considered species-level taxa. Thus, a generic diagnosis for Gatesona stat. nov. is provided, along with redescriptions of Gatesona chaetophora comb. nov., Gatesona rutena comb. nov. stat. nov., Gatesona lablacherensis comb. nov. stat. nov. and Gatesona serninensis comb. nov. stat. nov. The study findings highlight the need for further sampling of earthworm diversity in the Massif Central (and Southern France), in addition to an increased focus on the Eastern European species of Helodrilus.

Abstract. The first combined checklist of earthworms of the Balkan Peninsula, Anatolia, the Levant and Cyprus is presented. Out of the 226 taxa, 216 belong to the Holarctic family Lumbricidae. Ten further species are from the families Criodrilidae, Acanthodrilidae, Ocnerodrilidae and Megascolecidae. The widely introduced peregrine species take part with 11.9% (27 taxa). The number of endemics within the studied areas is highest on the Balkan Peninsula (90 taxa). As a result of this study, four synonyms were found, and the subgenus Trapezonscolex Qiu & Bouché, 1998 was raised to genus level for the former Turkish Eophila species Eo. cavazzutii cavazzutii Omodeo, 1988 and Eo. cavazzutii pascuorum Omodeo, 1988.

The historical biogeography of the Lumbricidae, the main Palearctic earthworm family, may be linked to the paleogeography of their putative ancestral range in Iberia–southeastern France–Corsica–Sardinia. Although molecular phylogenetics has recently been used to analyze most endemic genera in this area, the genus Kritodrilus has not yet been studied. The generotype Kritodrilus calarensis and other closely related species inhabit southeastern France. However, other species from the Iberian Peninsula (e.g., Kr. osellai) have been assigned to Kritodrilus, the same for the Vindobonic (Hungarian–Austrian–Czech–Slovakian) Dendrobaena mrazeki. In order to unravel the paleobiogeographic, evolutionary, and taxonomic significance of Kritodrilus, the aforementioned species (and three potential relatives) were sequenced for seven molecular markers. Molecular phylogenetic inference recovered a clade of French Kritodrilus (including Et. setusmontanus) closely related to the Northwestern Iberian Galiciandrilus and Compostelandrilus, the latter being a sister clade to the Vindobonic species (described as a new genus). Time‐calibrated phylogenetic inference estimated that these three clades diverged around 55 Ma. Ecological niche models for these clades were mainly influenced by the same environmental variables, but showed non‐overlapping highly suitable areas (except for Kritodrilus). Ancestral area reconstruction inferred the origin of the Lumbricidae in Corsica–Sardinia and the Iberian Peninsula, with eventual expansion eastwards toward France, Central Europe, and the Carpato‐Balkanic area. For Kritodrilus and its relatives, this expansion may have been contemporaneous with the Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum. Later climatic changes may explain the strikingly disjunct ranges. This work highlights the evolutionary and biogeographic significance of these isolated earthworm lineages and the importance of their preservation.
