Abstract | Several species of earthworms have been previously recorded from the state of Kansas. Here I report the occurrence of nine more species from Douglas, Geary, and Riley counties. They are Diplocardia prosenteris, D. smithi, D. verrucosa, D. sp. A, D. sp. B, Aporrectodea turgida, Octolasion cyaneum, O. tyrtaeum, and Amynthas hupeiensis. Some brief notes on the biology of the worms are presented |
