An electronic database "World Distribution of Aquatic Oligochaeta" is currently in preparation. It will be completed in 2023 but is already available in Internet. It is presenting all published finding cases of microdrile oligochaetes (up to 150,000) together with their literature sources, geographical coordinates, and distribution maps. An updated systematic list of taxa is also given. For the latter, the order level of Oligochaeta system was recently improved by Schmelz et al. (2021).
