description The authors present the results of recent investigations of earthworms from Šumadija. Research was carried out during 1996-2003 and included natural and cultivated biotopes from various parts of Šumadija. We found 27 taxa including six species new for the earthworm fauna of Šumadija: Dendrobaena alpina, Helodrilus cernosvitovianus, Octolasion cyaneum, Octodrilus complanatus, Serbiona serbica, and Serbiona paratuleskovi. Up to 1995, the total number of earthworm taxa in Šumadija was 37. After our present study this number has risen to 43 taxa. As for the zoogeographical position of the earthworms of Šumadija, the established taxa have the following types of distribution: European (11 taxa), cosmopolitan (10), Holarctic (eight) Palearctic (two), South European (five), Balkan (three) and endemic (four).
