Abstract:
This is the first record of megascolecid "jumping worms" from Wellington County, Ontario. Amynthas agrestis has previously been reported from Essex, Wentworth and York Counties, and Amynthas tokioensis from Chatham-Kent and Wentworth Counties in Ontario. Finding megascolecids under sod in the middle of a lawn is believed to be a second report.
Keywords: Oligochaeta, Megascolecidae, Amynthas agrestis, Amynthas tokioensis, under sod
