Abstract
Many Oligochaeta were collected during recent investigations in Southe rn-European caves. This is the first contribution in which some data c oncerning the Tubificidae are summarized. Three new species of Rhyacod rilinae, including a new genus, are described: Rhyacodrilus omodeoi n. sp., Rhyacodrilus dolcei n. sp., Rhyacodrilus gasparoi n. sp. and Sto chidrilus glandulosus n. gen., n. sp. The poorly known species Frearid rilus pescei (Dumnicka 1981, augm. 1987) is redescribed on the basis o f new material collected in Slovenian caves; this revision allowed the proposal to ascribe it to the genus Tubifex considering the monospeci fic genus Frearidrilus as a junior synonym of Tubifex.
