Eisenia andrei Bouché, 1972 View in CoL
( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A)
1963 Eisenia foetida var. unicolor André, Bull. Biol. Fr. Belg. , 81: 24. 1972 Eisenia fetida andrei Bouché, Inst. Nat. Rech. Agron. , 381. 1999 Eisenia andrei Sims & Gerard, Linn. Soc. Lond. , 79.
Ecological category. Epigeic.
Habitat. In compost and dung heaps. One of the most common species used for vermicomposting.
Zoogeographical distribution type. Peregrine.
Distribution in Croatia. Not found in natural habitats, only in dung heaps and in vermiculture in Continental region. A new record for Croatia. Hackenberger: Gunja, Tovarnik, Zagreb.
Remark. In many publications (e.g., Qiu & Bouché 1998, Csuzdi & Zicsi 2003, Csuzdi 2012) E. andrei Bouché, 1972 is cited as a synonym, morph, “variety”, or subspecies of E. fetida , or it is given separate species status, but according to Blakemore (2006) this is almost arbitrary between authors. These two entities have biochemical differences (Øien & Stenersen 1984, Engelstad & Stenersen 1991, Reinecke & Vijoen 1991) and their reproductive isolation was confirmed (Dominguez et al. 2005).
