Csuzdi, Cs.: The first recorded earthworms from Burkina Faso with description of a new species (Oligochaeta: Eudrilidae, Acanthodrilidae)

Fig. 1. Legonea rapta Sims, 1964 Ventral view of the clitellar segments, st.p = spermathecal pore; ca = copulatory appendages everted Internal characters. Oesophageal gizzard in 5, intestinal gizzards in 19-26, 8 pairs. As septum 13/14 absent, the exact location of the calciferous gland could not be determined. It might equally be in segment 13, as well as in 14. Testes paired in 10 and 11 enclosed in U-shaped sperm-reservoirs. Spermathecal receptaculum single, supra intestinal, circumoesophageal duct (Verbindungsslauch) present. Euprostates paired, flexed into U-form, ectally taper into slender ducts and communicate with the thick penis sheath (Sims, 1964 p. 602, Fig. 5). Remarks: Our specimens conform to the original description, apart from their smaller size and the number of intestinal gizzards. The long distance between the two known localities suggests a wider, but unsampled distribution of this species. Legonea derouardi sp. nov. Locality: Holotype; AF/3805 Burkina Faso, Sobaka, Koukalanasse, 200 km south from the capital Ouagadougou. Leg. L. Derouard, 16.X.1995. Paratypes; AF/3970 2 +4 Ex. Locality same as that of the holotype.
