038287C0FFC5FFE3BF92F820C7B4FDFC.taxon	distribution	Distribution in Germany. No reference known from the field in the literature, but the species also occurs in German vermicultures (J. Römbke, unpublished data) and is the most-often used species in ecotoxicological test laboratories. Taxonomic remark. The species was first described as Eisenia foetida var. unicolor by André (1963). Bouché (1972) recognized André's variety as a subspecies and renamed it E. fetida andrei. Based on Jaenike (1982) and Øien & Stenersen (1984), Sims and Gerard (199) considered E. andrei as a species of its own.	en	Lehmitz, Ricarda, Römbke, Jörg, Jänsch, Stephan, Krück, Stefanie, Beylich, Anneke, Graefe, Ulfert (2014): Checklist of earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) from Germany.

Taxonomic remark. The distribution of the three subspecies in Germany is unknown. The subspecies are characterized by slightly different Zoogeographical distributions (Csuzdi & Zicsi 2003) as well as differences in leaf litter acceptance and cast deposition (Zicsi et al. 2011). They might therefore represent distinct species.	en	Lehmitz, Ricarda, Römbke, Jörg, Jänsch, Stephan, Krück, Stefanie, Beylich, Anneke, Graefe, Ulfert (2014): Checklist of earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) from Germany.
