| Abstract | Two species of the megascolecid earthworm genus Diplocardia (subfamily Acanthodrilinae) are described from collections made in tallgrass prairie in north-central Kansas. Diplocardia hulbertri has similarities to D. meansi and some undescribed material in Gates (1977), while D. rugosa appears to be closely related to D. smithii |
