Abstract: | The occurrence of freshwater leeches in ten different wadis in Yemen was determined. Four species were recorded for the first time: Batracobdelloides tricarinatus, Helobdella conifera, Limnatis nilotica and Placobdelloides multistriatus. These species, typically found in Africa, are recorded in Yemen on the border of two biogeographical regions. |
