            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> The species has been found in grasslands, agricultural fields and nature reserves in KZN and GP only. It is unclear why there are no records from other South African provinces although sampling has been done in these provinces. In the present study,  Amynthas aeruginosus was collected under maize, soya, sugar-cane and mixed species pastures. </p>

It is common in the upper layers of soil, mostly in rotting litter in plantations (Plisko 2010) and decomposed sugar-cane reeds (  Ljungström 1972). In the present study,  Amynthas corticis was collected from maize fields only. </p>

The new material is from a mixed species pasture and the species occurred in high numbers. There is a high possibility that the distribution of this species in agroecosystems is wider than what is known because not much sampling in cultivated fields has been done.</p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This species occurs in numerous sites, both natural and agricultural. In natural sites, Plisko (2001) reported this species in grasslands, forests, natural bushes and near rivers. In cultivated fields,  Pontoscolex corenthrurus has been collected under most crops including maize, sugar-cane, banana, avocado, citrus; some specimens were collected in pine and gum plantations, some even from vegetable gardens (Plisko 2001). This species has been used in experiments at different institutions.  Pontoscolex corenthrurus has also been collected in polluted sites in KZN (Plisko 2001). The current collection was in sugarcane on one farm only, although we had expected to collect the species in other areas in the KZN Midlands because of its wide occurrence. </p>
