A morphology-based identification key to the Cognettia species of the world (Clitellata: Enchytraeidae)
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.25674/so91103Keywords:
Annelida, ChamaedrilusAbstract
Morphological characters for identification of Cognettia species are presented both as a dichotomous key and in table form. Focus is on non-sexual characters, as many species reproduce mainly asexually, and sexually mature individuals can be rare.
