Abstract / Description

Wetzel (1992) published the first comprehensive review of aquatic Annelida in Illinois, including 130 species representing 71 genera in 15 families. The list included here has been modified to a) include species identified from the state since publication of that review, b) to reflect recent nomenclatural and systematic changes, and c) correct several actual date-of-publication errors that had been perpetuated in past literature. Recent works discussing the phylogeny of aquatic Annelida have been included in the section on classification. References noted in the text of this document are included in the 'Literature Cited' section which follows the checklist of species.
