The first ever list of terrestrial enchytraeids of Eastern Dagestan includes 12 species belonging to five genera. Several species from studied localities may be assigned as undescribed, therefore additional comprehensive research of enchytraeid fauna from Eastern Dagestan is required. A new enchytraeid species of the genus Fridericia Michaelsen, 1889, Fridericia samurai sp. nov., is described from Eastern Dagestan, Russia. It clearly differs from other species of the genus by short and simple oesophageal appendages, not subdivided spermathecal diverticula, and the absence of spermathecal ectal glands and clitellum on ventral side.
