Diporodrilidae Bouché, 1970

This monogeneric family with three species and two subspecies was erected by Bouché (1970) for specimens collected in the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia, from where they are endemic. Recent sampling in Corsica revealed several new lineages and species that must still be described ( Marchán et al., 2022b). The validity of this family was also re-affirmed with recent molecular (Anchor-Hybrid Enrichment) analyses, which placed it as sister to the Lumbricidae ( Marchán et al., 2022c) .
