This study presents a comprehensive catalogue of the moniligastrid earthworms (Moniligastrida, Moniligastridae) of the world. A total of 176 valid species/subspecies belonging to 5 genera are known to exist in this primitive family. Drawida is the speciose genus with 147 species/subspecies. Of the various moniligastrids, three species of Drawida are considered as peregrine outside its normal Asian range. Among the valid species, occurrence of 30.68% are known only from the type locality. It is noteworthy that the types of 125 (71.02%) species are currently known to exist in various repositories around the world. The existence of the remaining species can only be inferred from the literature since their types are either non-existent, missing, dried out, or lost. Present catalogue includes valid scientific names, synonyms, type locality, type respository details along with registration number, geographic distribution pattern within its native range, and references.
本研究展示了世界上 Moniligastrida（单环蚓目，Moniligastridae 科）环节动物的综合名录。在这个原始科中，已知有 5 属 176 种有效物种/亚种。Drawida 是最具多样性的属，有 147 种/亚种。在各种单环蚓目中，有三种 Drawida 物种被认为是在其正常亚洲范围内的外来物种。在有效物种中，有 30.68%的物种仅在模式产地有记录。值得注意的是，目前全球各地的各种存储库中都保存有 125 种（71.02%）物种的模式标本。由于其模式标本要么不存在、丢失、干枯或遗失，因此其余物种的存在只能从文献中推断出来。本名录包括有效学名、同义词、模式产地、模式标本保存地点的详细信息，以及注册号、在其原生范围内的地理分布模式和参考文献。
