Abstract

As one of the megadiverse countries in the world, the Philippines “probably supports the greatest concentration of unique biological diversity currently known on the planet” and has been aptly described as “Galapagos times ten” by Heany (Ong, et al., 2002). However, knowledge of the biodiversity of earthworms in the country is very limited. The literature on the species-taxa that have been reported from the Philippines is practically non-existent; we rely only on the recent publications of James (2004a, 2005) on the earthworms in our country. To date, there are almost no data from the Central Philippines (Visayan region)except for the previous collections from Samar and Cebu (in James, 2004b).

维萨扬(菲律宾中部)群岛部分岛屿上蚯蚓的分布

菲律宾是世界上生物多样性最丰富的国家之一，“可能是目前地球上已知的最集中的独特生物多样性”，被Heany恰当地称为“加拉帕戈斯十倍”(Ong, et al.， 2002)。然而，该国对蚯蚓生物多样性的了解非常有限。关于菲律宾所报道的种-分类群的文献几乎不存在;我们只依赖James (2004a, 2005)最近发表的关于我国蚯蚓的文章。迄今为止，除了以前在萨马岛和宿务收集的数据(James, 2004年b)外，几乎没有来自菲律宾中部(维萨扬地区)的数据。
