Remarks: With the Alluroididae Lacandodrilus shares the pair of male pores and single pair of ovaries in XIII, presence of septal glands and (assumed) the single – layered clitellum. However, it differs in the absence of tubular or globular atria and the intraparietal nature of the male gonoducts; it also differs in the number of testes (holandric, two pairs in X and XI vs. proandric one pair in X or metandric – one pair in XI). Intraparietal male gonoducts also occur in Sparganophilidae (Jamieson 1971).

Type species: Lacandodrilus Fragoso & Rojas 2023 Setae eight per segment, closely paired, ab ventral, cd dorsolateral, all setae simple, straight, with a node. Clitellum annular. Septal glands in perigonadial segments. Gizzard, oesophageal glands and typhlosole absent. Dorsal vessel simple. Long and contorted vascular commissures embedded within septal glands and located before XII. Holonephric, ovoidal nephridia covered by a granular peritoneal layer. Holandric, with testes and sperm funnels in X and XI and paired male pores in XIII. Male gonoducts intraparietal. Seminal vesicles long, extending several segments backwards within ovisacs. Genital paired lobular glands (prostates?) in XIII and XIV. Metagynous, with large ovaries in XIII and paired female pores in XIV, presetal to AB.

Abstract

The Alluroididae is a small oligochaete family with 8 genera and 13 known species occurring in freshwaters and in riverine soils in Africa, the Caribbean and Central and South America. It is here argued that their anatomy shows a transition from that of microdriles to that of megadriles (Metagynophora). A detailed description of comparative anatomy is given, followed by the systematics and some aspects of the ecology of all known genera, species and subspecies.
