thumb|Jumping behaviour. Amynthas is a genus of earthworms in the family Megascolecidae. They are known as jumping worms, snake worms, or crazy worms because of their erratic thrashing behaviour when disturbed. The genus is native to East Asia, but they are invasive in many areas of the United States. They are a matter of concern in many states, as they disrupt the native forest ecology by affecting soil structure and chemistry.

Grania is a genus of marine annelid worms in the class Clitellata. They are found at many depths in sands throughout the world. They are generally about in length and mostly colorless or white, though Grania colorata, a recently discovered species found in the Great Barrier Reef, is green.

Pheretima is a genus of earthworms found mostly in New Guinea and parts of Southeast Asia.

Driloleirus is an earthworm genus in the family Megascolecidae.

Rhynchelmis is the genus of 26 species of aquatic oligochaetes from the Northern Hemisphere, with 14 species from North America and 12 from Eurasia. They are part of the family Lumbriculidae, which are among the largest of the microdriles. They are generally defined as having atria in segment X and spermathecae in segment VIII. The prostomium generally has a proboscis, from which the genus has got its name.

Limnodriloides is a genus of clitellate oligochaete worms.

Cystobranchus is a genus of leeches (Hirudinea) belonging to the family Piscicolidae. These leeches are associated with freshwater fishes and closely related to the genus Piscicola. They are distributed in Europe and North America. They attach themselves on the external part of fish and feed on their blood, which could cause the fish to be more susceptible to stressors and diseases.

Phallodrilus is a genus of invertebrates in the family Naididae. It contains the following species: Phallodrilus parthenopaeus

Dendrobaena is a genus of annelids belonging to the family Lumbricidae.

Lumbricillus is a genus of annelids belonging to the family Enchytraeidae.

Megascolides is a genus of earthworms in the family Megascolecidae.

Bimastos is a genus of lumbricid worm thought to be native to North America but has since been introduced to every continent apart from Antarctica. Recent molecular analysis has subsumed Dendrodrilus and Allolobophoridella under this genus. The clade holding Bimastos and Eisenoides seems to have diverged from Eurasian lumbricid Eisenia during the Late Cretaceous, approximately 69.2–76.1 million years ago. This, along with the discovery of an earthworm cocoon attributed to B. rubidus from lake sediment dated over 7,000 years old in Ontario, Canada contradicts the widely held notion that Bimasto

Haplotaxis is a genus of annelids belonging to the family Haplotaxidae.

Satchellius is a genus of earthworms within the family Lumbricidae. Members of this genus are found in the European regions of the British Isles, the northern coast of Western Europe, and Scandinavia.

Thalassodrilides is a genus of annelids belonging to the family Naididae.
