subdivision = See textThe Lumbricidae is a family of earthworms which includes most of the earthworm species well-known to Europeans. About 33 lumbricid species have become naturalized around the world [cite web | url = http://bio-eco.eis.ynu.ac.jp/eng/database/earthworm/COSMO2.doc | title = Contents of "Cosmopolitan Earthworms" 1st and 2nd Editions, Blakemore (2002, 2006) | publisher = VermEcology | year = 2008 | accessdate = 2008-02-12] , but the bulk of the species are in Holarctic: from Canada (e.g. "Bimastos lawrenceae" on Vancouver Island) and the United States (e.g. "Eisenoides carolinensis", "Eisenoides lonnbergi" and most "Bimastos" spp.) and throughout Eurasia to Japan (e.g. "Eisenia japonica", "E. koreana" and "Helodrilus hachiojii"). An enigmatic species in Tasmania is "Eophila eti". There are currently 670 valid (sub-)species in about 42 recognized genera.
