Reynolds JW. 2014. A checklist by counties of earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) in Wyoming, USA.. Megadrilogica. 16(4)
This checklist of the terrestrial Oligochaeta of Wyoming is based on 177 collection sites from 22 of the 23 counties and Yellowstone National Park in the state. There are 13 species reported from the state which represent one family (Lumbricidae). One species, Bimastos parvus, is considered native (endemic) to North America, the rest are European exotic species. The most frequently collected species are: Aporrectodea tuberculata (34 sites), Dendrodrilus rubidus (21 sites) and Lumbricus terrestris (16 sites). The remaining ten species were collected from fewer than ten sites each. Individual county sites include the ecoregion and a map location, as well as the species obtained, indicating the frequency and per cent of the total county collections.
