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.

“…Almost all earthworm species recorded during this study are common and have been recorded by many authors (Pižl & Stary 2001;Csuzdi et al 2011) during studies of the soil in this part of the Carpathians. As part of research concerning the effect of mountain meadow management on soil fauna, Pižl & Stary (2001) identified five earthworm species that are common in Carpathian grasslands: D. octaedra, L. rubellus, A. caliginosa, A. rosea and O. lacteum.…”

The impact of different geographical regions (Silesian Foothills, region 1 and Ma ly Beskids, region 2), and method of soil use (arable field and grassland) on the main soil properties and biological activity was studied. Earthworm biomass, density and diversity, as well as dehydrogenase activity, were analysed. Significant soil physical and chemical properties were more affected by regions, whereas the type of land use had a greater impact on the biological properties. The mean earthworm density was 213 ind. m −2 and 241 ind. m −2 in grassland, and 50 ind. m −2 and 120 ind. m −2 in arable field, in region 1 and 2, respectively. Eight earthworm species were recorded, and fewer species were recorded in arable field (1-4) than in grassland (6-7). The Silesian Foothills are a new habitat for the occurrence of the speciesFitzingeria platyura depressa. A high earthworm density was accompanied by high microbial activity, and dehydrogenase activity was lower in the soil of arable field than in grassland soil.

“…The southern Apuseni Mountains (Metaliferic Mountains, Zarand Mountains) are a fragment of the Vardar block, which emerged and drifted north (Ianovici et al, 1976;Nicolae and Saccani, 2003;Schmid et al, 2008) to the current location. Due to these tectonic movements, the Crinitodiscus species can be found in the Carpathian Basin, along with several other soil-dwelling animal groups (e.g., earthworms (Csuzdi et al, 2011)). …”

The first Romanian species of the genus Crinitodiscus Sellnick, 1931 is described and illustrated on the basis of two collected females. The new species differs from the other members of the genus by the V-shaped anterior process on the female genital shield and the ridged anterior margin of the postdorsal shield. The Crinitodiscus species were previously reported only from the East Mediterranean region. This occurrence represents the first Central European data on the genus.
