| Elaborating several smaller earthworm samples collected in different parts of Israel resulted in recording 20 earthworm species including Bimastos parvus (Eisen, 1874) a North American peregrine which represents new record for the country. Three other species; Dendrobaena nevoi Csuzdi and PavlÃÄek, 1999, Healyella jordanis (Csuzdi & PavlÃÄek, 1999) and Perelia shams Csuzdi & PavlÃÄek, 2005 were first recorded after their original descriptions. The present list of lumbricid earthworms recorded for Israel is raised to 28.
