This species was first described by Friend from Irish specimens. Un- 

 fortunately, the name " Lumbricus painllosus " had already been used by 

 Mitller in 1776 for another species. It was renamed by Cognetti (tom. cit.j, 

 who found it in the Pyrenees. He gives a full description of the external 

 and internal structure. This species has only been found outside Ireland 

 at considerable altitudes in the Pyrenees and the Alps. It is common in the 

 southern half of Ireland, but does not occur in Great Britain. 



Habitat — Ireland. Co. Kerry, Co. Cork, Co. Dublin.
