Aporrectodea sineporis has been recognized in the central and eastern parts of Serbia Helodrilus cernosvitovianus only on the territory of Mt. Bukulja (in the central part of the country). These are new findings for the earthworm fauna of umadija. The available evidence indicates that H. cernosvitovianus is mainly a Balkan element, while A. sineporis has a distribution of the South European type. %K Aporrectodea sineporis %K Helodrilus cernosvitovianus %K zoogeography %K earthworms %K Serbia %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0354-4664/2005/0354-46640502133S.pdf
