Title: An interesting reproduction type in enchytraeids (Oligochaeta)

Author: K. Dózsa-Farkas

Author's address: Department of Systematic Zoology and Ecology, Eötvös Loránd University, H–1088 Budapest, Puskin u. 3, Hungary

Abstract: The reproduction biology of a recently described enchytraeid species, Enchytraeus dudichi was investigated. This species is able to reproduce both sexually and asexually by fragmentation. Data about the cocoon deposition, the incubation period, the growth of juveniles, the maturation, the occurrence of fragmentation, and the number, size, and growth of fragments were determined. When populations of E. dudichi occur in low densities fragmentation results. Fragmentation enhances the chance of the species to successfully colonize new habitats, whereas sexual reproduction maintains genetic diversity within the population.

Key words: Enchytraeidae, sexual and asexual reproduction, fragmentation

Author: M. Balkenohl

Author's address: Kirchstrasse 5/2, 79211 Denzlingen, Germany

Abstract: Five new species of the tribe Clivinini (Scaritinae) from Indochina are described and illustrated, and two new genera are erected for these species: Sinesetosa gen. n. is monotypical with the type species S. acugena sp. n. and Rugiluclivina gen. n. is based on four new species: R. reticulata sp. n., R. puncticollis sp. n., R. wrasei sp. n., and R. rugicollis sp. n.. A key to the known Oriental genera of the tribe Clivinini and to the species of the genus Rugiluclivina is given.
