Abstract
The rare and poorly known lumbricid Eophila tellinii, type species of the genus inquirendum Eophila (Rosa, 1894), is described anew. is quite different from the type species of the lumbricid genera escribed before 1894: thus, according to international usage, the genus Eophila is valid. A new lumbricid from Turkey together with other less known endemic species that may be assigned to this genus are described. The close relationships between the genus Snhenthecà (Bouché, 1972) and Eophila are discussed.
