Aeolosoma is a genus of minute annelid worms, variously attributed either to oligochaetes or polychaetes.[1] Unlike most polychaetes, they reside in freshwater environments in various parts of the world.

Aeolosoma are transparent worms, very thin and of the length of 1.5–2 mm.[2] They usually reproduce asexually.[3] This is done by paratomy (fragmentation), when the posterior segments are separated from the parent worm. It starts when the worm reaches a certain number of millimeters (depending on the species).[4] Only one species, Aeolosoma singulare, is known to reproduce sexually.[5]

Aeolosoma feed on microalgae, microorganisms and detritus.[6] Their mouth acts like a small vacuum cleaner, which helps them suck up their food into their system.[7]
