DIAGNOSIS . — Small-to-medium-sized species with green pigmentation (sometimes absent). Prostomium epilobous, no transversal furrows. Setae closely paired. First dorsal pore in 4/5 (rarely 3/4, 5/6, 7/8). Male pores in 1/2 XV with well-developed porophores. Presence of spermatophores. Spermathecal pores in variable position and number between 7/8 and 10/11, simple. Nephridial pores irregularly distributed ( en solfège ). Clitellum moderately posterior to extremely posterior, starting between XXVIII and LXXIII and ending between XXXVI and LXXVIII. Calciferous glands in X-XV with diverticula in X. Typhlosole usually trifid (sometimes bifid or with 4 lamellae). Variable number of simple spermathecae, usually three or four pairs. Four pairs of seminal vesicles in IX-XII. Nephridial bladders U-shaped (incurvate and reclinate or proclinate). INCLUDED SPECIES . — Allolobophora chlorotica ( Savigny, 1826: 182 ) ; Allolobophora burgondiae Bouché, 1972: 272 ; Allolobophora icterica ( Savigny, 1826: 182 ) ; Allolobophora molleri Rosa, 1889: 3 , Allolobophora moebii Michaelsen, 1895 , Allolobophora dubiosa ( Örley, 1881: 603 ) ; Allolobophora delitescens Gérard, Decaëns & Marchán , n. sp. DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION . — The genus Allolobophora as redefined by Martínez Navarro et al. (2023) comprises seven species natively distributed in the Iberian Peninsula, France , Morocco , Algeria , Italy , Belgium , Czech Republic , Germany , Romania , Switzerland , The Netherlands , United Kingdom , Bulgaria , Croatia , Hungary , Moldova , Montenegro , Russia , Serbia , Slovakia , Turkey and Ukraine . However, their geographic origin appears to be located between the Iberian Peninsula, Maghreb and the perialpine region (including France , Switzerland and the Western Balkans). The species attributed to Heraclescolex Qiu & Bouché, 1998 in the genus original description likely belong to Allolobophora and are mainly distributed in Portugal , western Spain and Morocco .
