Hirudo medicinalis (Linnaeus, 1758)

Remarks: This species was reported from Krupac ( Blanchard 1905) and Pošćenska and Plavsko Lake ( Sket 1968). However, as this species was in the past confused with Hirudo verbana , all former records from the Balkan area are questionable.

Distribution: North, central and south­western Europe.
