Polypheretima is a genus of annelid earthworms belonging to the family Megascolecidae, erected by Wilhelm Michaelsen in 1934. [1] Species have been recorded mostly from Africa and Asia, with several apparently very locally endemic. [2]

Contents

This genus is similar to Pheretima and other "Pheretimoid" genera (also including Amynthas , Archipheretima , Duplodicodrilus , Metaphire , Metapheretima and Pithemera ). They form an important ecological and taxonomic group in the Oriental region. [3]
