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-area01281nas a2200157   4500008004100000022002200041245009100063210006900154260014200223300001400365490000700379520058300386100002200969700001800991856011401009       2006                        eng d  a0022-3395 (Print)00aA new species of glossiphoniid leech from Rana pretiosa (Amphibia: Ranidae) in Oregon.0 anew species of glossiphoniid leech from Rana pretiosa Amphibia R  aInvertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West, 79th Street, New York, New York 10024, USA. siddall@amnh.org  a855–8570 v923 aA new species of ectoparasitic glossiphoniid leech was found feeding on frogs in the Nature Center Pond and elsewhere in Deschutes County, Oregon. The new species of Placobdella resembles the southern alligator leech, Placobdella multilineata Moore, 1953, notwithstanding their vast geographic separation in North America. The new species is readily distinguished by possessing subdivided annuli, by its papillation and pigmentation patterns as well as by the arrangement of ovarian tissues. There is strong evidence of nocturnality and of the potential for parasitizing humans.1 aSiddall, Mark, E.1 aBowerman, Jay  uhttps://nematoda.myspecies.info/content/new-species-glossiphoniid-leech-rana-pretiosa-amphibia-ranidae-oregon
