目前臺灣(包含蘭嶼)的大型蚯蚓大約有70種，其中29種(約40%)為非原生種，在這些種類中69%為亞洲分佈的巨蚓科蚯蚓，21%為全北區的正蚓科蚯蚓。在陳(2003)文中記錄了臺灣東北部的宜蘭縣蚯蚓，尚有27種未命名種類，若將其發表，則臺灣會有超過100種蚯蚓。這份臺灣蚯蚓名錄同時也記錄樂鑑種確認兩個外來種Eisenia fetida (Savigny)及Eiseniella tetraedra(Savigny)。

Terrestrial megadrile earthworms variously reported form Taiwan including Lanyu Island (Botel Tobago) number approximately 70 species with 29 of these, or 40%, non-natives for which 69% are Asiatic Megascolecidae and 21% are Lumbricidae of Holarctic origin. An additional 27 unnamed species have been identified from Ilan county north-eastern Taiwan by Chen et al. (2003) that, if published, would bring the total to around 100 known species. The checklist is also provided with the confirmation and new records of the exotic lumbricids Eisenia fetida (Savigny) and Eiseniella tetraeara (Savigny).
