Linta be, n.gen., n.sp., from Madagascar, is the first record of a freshwater leech on that island. Its possession of characteristics both of the Erpobdelliformes and the Hirudiniformes suggests it is a morphologically significant link between these two lineages. Barbronia gwalagwalensis, n.sp., looks externally similar to the widespread Barbronia weberi, but internally exhibits features more similar to other African species of the genus.157346 bytesapplication/pdfen-USQL1 .A436 no.3456 2004Linta beBarbronia gwalagwalensisLeeches -- MadagascarLeeches -- South AfricaAnnelida -- MadagascarAnnelida -- South Africatext
