Abstract
The analysis presents earthworm distribution in eight designated tectonic units C—Cyprus EP—East Pondites ET—East Taurus block Sc—Sakarya continent Kb—Kırşehir block L—the Levant TM—Taurus–Menderes block WP—West Pondites in the East Mediterranean region EM It represents a full list of earthworm species N = 81 of the region and reveals significant faunal similarities between Sc + WP and between Kb + TM The new Sc + WP unit is characterized by the presence of archaic Spermophorodrilus as well as modern earthworm fauna In contrast the second newly established Kb + TM unit is characterized by poorly presented earthworm autochthonous fauna and by a lack of endemic species The analysis done on the species list N = 73 representing the autochthonous family Lumbricidae showed statistically supported separation of L and EP between themselves and from other designated units The Levant part of the Arabian tectonic plate is characterized by a high level of endemism in ancient Healyella and modern Dendrobaena Perelia genera and by the lack of archaic genera The EP harbors unique species representing archaic Eophila ancient Healyella and modern Allolobophora Aporrectodea Dendrobaena and Eisenia earthworm genera in the EM The analysis also indicates origin of earthworm fauna in TM and faunistic relationships among the designated units Clearly the presentday division of the EM earthworm fauna shows recognizable influences of tectonic history
