分布

 国内では、本州、四国、九州、対馬、五島列島、甑列島に広く分布する。薩南諸島以南からは発見されていない。

 

 国外では、ポルトガル (Heitor, 1969)、イタリア (Cognetti, 1905b)、ポーランド (Kasprzak, 1989)、ギリシャ (Cognetti, 1913)、イスラエル (Szederjesi et al., 2013b)、パキスタン (Parshad, 1916)、インド (Michaelsen, 1908; Stephenson, 1914a, 1916, 1917, 1920, 1923, 1931b; Černosvitov, 1937a; Gates, 1958a; Paliwal & Julka, 2004; Dhiman & Battish, 2006; Kathireswari et al., 2008; Mohan et al., 2013)、中国 (Chen, 1931, 1933, 1946; Michaelsen, 1931a; Kobayashi, 1940b; Huang et al., 2006)、台湾 (小林, 1938e, 1940a; Shih et al., 1999; Huang et al., 2006; Tsai et al., 2009)、韓国 (Kobayashi, 1941b; Hong, 2000; Hong & Kim, 2009; Blakemore, 2013)、インドネシア (Michaelsen, 1922)、ハワイ (Reynolds, 2015v)、アメリカ合衆国 (Michaelsen, 1894a; Smith & Gittins, 1915: 548; Smith, 1915, 1917, 1927; Olson, 1940; Gates, 1942a、1956b, 1967c; Lindroth, 1957: 123; Schwert, 1990; Reynolds, 2010c, 2011a, 2015a)、メキシコ (Cognetti, 1905a; Gates, 1942a)、グアテマラ (Cognetti, 1905a; Gates, 1942a, 1962j)、コスタリカ (Cognetti, 1908b; Gates, 1942a)、ベネズエラ (Christoffersen, 2011)、ブラジル (Righi, 1968; Brown & James, 2006; Christoffersen, 2011)、ボリビア (Cognetti, 1902a)、アルゼンチン (Cognetti, 1901c, 1905a; Righi, 1984b; Mischis & Herrera, 2006; Christoffersen, 2011)、トリスタン・ダ・クーニャ (Pickford, 1932)、南アフリカ (Michaelsen, 1913f; Sims, 1978) に分布する。

 

 メキシコやイタリア、日本、イギリスから輸入した植物の土壌中から発見された例が報告されている (Gates, 1956b)

図:これまでに出版された文献に基づく Bimastos parvus の分布確認地点


生息環境

 水辺に近い土の中、または朽ちた草などの下で発見される (大淵・山口, 1965)。湿った朽木や切り株、苔の中から採集された (Smith, 1917)。

生態

 北米原産であり、イスラエルではガーデンセンターなどを経由して分布を拡大している (Szederjesi et al., 2013b)。

備考

 大淵・山口 (1947) は和名をフクロナシミミズとし、大淵・山口 (1965) はフクロナシツリミミズとした。中村(1972) も後者を用いている。しかし、中村 (2003、2015) は和名をキタフクロナシツリミミズとし、フクロナシツリミミズは Dendrodrilus tenuis の和名とした。この変更の理由は明記されておらず不明である。なお、中村 (1998) は Bimastos tenuis の和名をキタフクロナシツリミミズとしている。このため、中村 (2003、2015) は誤記だと考えられる。なお、中村 (2003) は Bimastos 属には日本には本種一種のみとしたものの属和名をヒメツリミミズ属としており、どの和名を使うべきなのかが不明である (南谷, 私見)。

 

 かつて、beddardi は 1) 環帯は第 24-31 体節の 8 体節分を占めること (parvus は第 24-30 体節の 7 体節分)、2) beddardi の体長はやや長いものの体節数が少ないこと、3) 剛毛対はより近接すること、4) 体前部の体節は parvus に比べて短いこと、の 4 点が異なることから別種として認識されていた。ただし、Kobayashi (1940b) は体長は有効な識別形式ではないことを示している。
