The new species resembles Placobdella ornata and could be easily confused with Placobdella papillifera. Dorsal papillation and internal reproductive anatomy distinguish P. ali from existing descriptions of the latter. Ventral pigmentation and salivary anatomy distinguish it from the former.1 aHughes, Leslie1 aSiddall, Mark, E.  uhttps://nematoda.myspecies.info/content/new-species-leech-new-york-metropolitan-area
