- Abstract
This is the first report of Arctiostrotus fontinalis from the Yukon Territory and Canada. This native earthworm species has previously been reported from the states of Oregon and Washington: from just one county in each state. The discovery of A. fontinalis in the Yukon Territory brings the number of known species of terrestrial earthworms to eight. One of the other species is a native (Bimastos parvus); the remaining six species are introduced European exotics.
