Notes

There are four subspecies of Allolobophora chlorotica; Allolobophora chlorotica chlorotica, Allolobophora chlorotica eutypicaAllolobophora chlorotica postepheba, Allolobophora chlorotica waldensis. While Allolobophora chlorotica has been recorded as occuring Australia, the Australian specimens have rarely been assigned to a subspecies.
