The Acanthodrilidae are an ancient and widely distributed family of earthworms which has native representatives in Australia , New Zealand, South Africa , South America, and North America. No native species are known from India (cf. Octochaetidae) nor Asia. The family possibly shows a pre-Pangaean distribution.
Membership requires an 'acanthodriline' arrangement of male pores and holoic nephridia.
