Out of 667 species of leeches known in the world, 64 species are recorded in India (Mandal, 2009). There are 3 species of leeches belong to the genus Paraclepsis in the world (Harding, 1924). Soos is the pioneer in Taxonomy of leeches in the world. He has described a number of new species. Majority of the new species of leeches were described by Moore (1924), Moore and Harding (1927) and Bhatia (1931). Mandal (2004a, 2004b and 2009) has described three new species, two collected from West Bengal and one species from Tamil Nadu. Bandyopadhyay and Mandal (2006), described one new species from Tamil Nadu. Soota and Ghosh (1977), Chandra (1983), Ghosh (1998) also contributed considerably to the taxonomy of leeches of India. Soos (1965) contributed a model of leech taxonomy in the world. Now the author has an opportunity to describe a new species from jorapari, Girdih, Jharkhand, India.- Placobdella godavariensis Sp.

Out of 700 species of leeches known in the world, 64 species are recorded in India (Mandal, 2009). There are 26 species of leeches belong to the genus Placobdella Blanchard 1893 in the world. Sixteen species of the genus Placobdella are described from North America, one species from Europe, three species from South America and 6 species from Asia. Out of six species of this genus reported from India, five species are endemic. Soos (1965) is the pioneer in Taxonomy of leeches in the world. He has described a number of new species. Majority of the new species of leeches were described by Harding and Moore (1924, 1927), Bhatia (1931). Mandal (2004a and 2004b) has described two new species, collected from West Bengal. Bandyopadhyay (2004 and 2005), Mandal (2004 and 2010), have done some work on ecology of leeches. Soota (1977), Chandra (1983), Ghosh (1998) also contributed considerably to the taxonomy of leeches of India.- Hemiclepsis marginata asiatica the Highest Egg-Laying Aquatic Leech in the World

Earthworms occur in diversified habitats from organic heaps (manure, compost, litter, humus, kitchen drainage, etc.) to forest land, grassland, agricultural land, plant nursery, etc. They are omnivorous, but most of them derive nutrition from dead organic matter. The beneficial effect of earthworms in increasing soil fertility has been documented since the time of Darwin (1881). Presently, earthworms are not restricted as a basic biology material but is being established as basic material for biotechnology (vermitechnology). Because of the vast number of species available in India and also because of the economic value, understanding of the distribution, abundance and ecological condition of the species has become very important.- Hemiclepsis chharwardamensis Sp.
