Erpobdella is a genus of leeches in the family Erpobdellidae. Members of the genus have three or four pairs of eyes, but never have true jaws, and are typically Шаблон:Convert long. All members do not feed on blood, but instead are predators of small aquatic invertebrates, which they often swallow whole.[1][2]

Species

The genus includes species previously classified under the genera Croatobranchus, Mooreobdella, Trocheta and Nephelopsis. These were synonymized into Erpobdella by Sidall (2002) after morphogenetic analysis. There are over 30 currently accepted species:[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
