Description
France can be qualified as terra incognita regarding terrestrial enchytraeids because very little data has been recorded so far in this country. In spring and autumn 2016, enchytraeid communities were investigated in a loamy soil in a meadow located in the park of Versailles palace, France. In total, twenty four enchytraeid species were identified, belonging to six different genera i.e. eleven Fridericia species, four Enchytraeus species, four Achaeta species, two Buchholzia species, two Marionina species and one Enchytronia species. According to the published data, this was one of the highest diversity found in a meadow in Europe.
