The Subansiri Scientific Expedition was organised by the Geological Survey of India in November 1974-February 1975 to survey the unexplored areas in the Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh. The route of the expedition was along the Subansiri river to its upper reaches from Taliha to Taksing, along Tsari Chu river from Galensinaik to Maja, from Lemeking through Kechi Pass to Huri and from Huri to Tamin along Kamala river. The present studies are based on a number of earthworms collected by the author as a member of the expedition party. The specimens are deposited in the collections of the High Altitude Zoology Field Station, Zoological Survey of India, Solan. Duplicates of all species will be deposited in due time in the collections of the Zoological Survey of India (Headquarters), Calcutta and Eastern Regional Station, Zoological Survey of India, Shillong.
