Poecilobdella
''Poecilobdella''Blanchard (1893) ''Bol. Mus. Zool. Anat. comp. Torino'', 8, no. 145. is a genus of Asian leeches belonging to the family Hirudinidae. Together with the genus ''Hirudinaria (annelid), Hirudinaria'', they have been called Asian buffalo (or cattle) leeches.Phillips AJ (2012) Phylogenetic placement of a new species of Asian buffalo leech (Arhynchobdellida: Hirudinidae), and confirmation of human-mediated dispersal of a congener to the Caribbean.

Hirudo
''Hirudo'' is a genus of leeches of the family Hirudinidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. The two well-accepted species within the genus are: *''Hirudo medicinalis'' Linnaeus, 1758 *'' Hirudo nipponia'' Whitman, 1886 Three other species, previously synonymized with ''H. medicinalis'', were described in 2005 and are gaining acceptance: * '' Hirudo verbana'' * '' Hirudo orientalis'' * '' Hirudo sulukii'' * '' Hirudo troctina'' * '' Hirudo tianjinensis'' Description Species are typically exterior feeders. They have jaws that typically consist of about 60 teeth and do not possess papillae. Distribution ''Hirudo medicinalis'': Britain and southern Norway to the southern Urals, probably as far as the Altai Mountains (the deciduous arboreal zone) ''Hirudo verbana'': Switzerland and Italy to Turkey and Uzbekistan (the Mediterranean and sub-boreal steppe zone) ''Hirudo orientalis'': Transcaucasian countries, Iran, and Centra ...

Leech
Leeches are segmented parasitism, parasitic or Predation, predatory worms that comprise the Class (biology), subclass Hirudinea within the phylum Annelida. They are closely related to the Oligochaeta, oligochaetes, which include the earthworm, and like them have soft, muscular segmented bodies that can lengthen and contract. Both groups are hermaphrodites and have a clitellum, but leeches typically differ from the oligochaetes in having suckers at both ends and ring markings that do not correspond with their internal segmentation. The body is muscular and relatively solid; the coelom, the spacious body cavity found in other annelids, is reduced to small channels. The majority of leeches live in freshwater habitats, while some species can be found in terrestrial or marine environments. The best-known species, such as the medicinal leech, ''Hirudo medicinalis'', are hematophagous, attaching themselves to a host with a sucker and feeding on blood, having first secreted the pepti ...

Arhynchobdellida
Arhynchobdellida, the proboscisless leeches, are a monophyletic order (biology), order of leeches. They are defined by the lack of the protrusible proboscis that defines their sister taxon, the Rhynchobdellida.Uttam, Suneha, and Seema Langer.Distribution and Identification key for species of freshwater leech genus Erpobdella Blainville, 1818 (Hirudinida: Arhynchobdellida: Erpobdelliformes: Erpobdellidae)."/ref> Arhynchobdellida is a diverse order, compromising both Aquatic animal, aquatic and Terrestrial animal, terrestrial, besides Hematophagy, sanguivorous and Predation, predatory, leeches. The order is divided into two suborders, Erpobdelliformes and Hirudiniformes (sometimes also called the Pharyngobdelliformes and Gnathobdelliformes, respectively). Taxonomy Historically, the Arhynchobdellida were split into two orders, the Gnathobdellida and the Pharyngobdellida. The Gnathobdellida were jawed and carnivorous or parasitic while the Pharyngobdellida were jawless and carnivor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
