The Tibetan Plateau is considered to have a unique fauna of fish and invertebrates. However, little taxonomic work has been conducted on the aquatic Oligochaeta of Tibet, China. Based on the surveys of rivers and lakes in this region between 2010 and 2011, we recorded 25 species of oligochaetes belonging to 2 families and 15 genera. This paper provides an overview of the species composition of different waterbodies, the description of one new species, Nais longidentata sp. n., and re-descriptions of four previously described species. Hitherto, 30 species of aquatic oligochaetes have been recorded from Tibet. The oligochaete fauna is similar to that of the Holarctic, but has several endemic elements.
青藏高原被认为拥有独特的鱼类和无脊椎动物区系。然而,针对中国西藏水生寡毛纲动物的分类学研究却很少。基于2010年至2011年对该地区河流和湖泊的调查,我们记录了2个科、15个属的25种寡毛纲动物。本文概述了不同水体的物种组成,描述了一个新物种——长齿奈氏蚓(Nais longidentata sp. n.),并重新描述了4个先前已描述的物种。迄今为止,已从西藏记录到30种水生寡毛纲动物。该寡毛纲动物区系与全北区的相似,但有几个特有类群。
