Thirty-two oligochaete species are recorded from benthic grab samples taken southeast of Massachusetts (Georges Bank). Taxonomic notes are provided for all species not previously dealt with in earlier papers (Erseus and Davis 1984; Erseus 1984a; Davis 1984). Four of the species, Phallodrilus dorsospermatheca, Phallodrilus christeri, Adelodrilus bacrionis, and Uniporodrilus vestigium are new to science and described herein. Some aspects of sediment-species relationships, life histories, and geographical distributions are discussed.
