Abstract
IT seems hard to believe that a leech, common and abundant and possessing a chitinous dorsal scute, should have hitherto escaped notice. But Jackson, in his edition of the “Forms of Animal Life,” does not refer to such a structure, nor does Lang, and I do not find notice of it in more recent literature. In the hope that I am not adding a needless synonym, I give a short description of the animal, of which a detailed account is in preparation.
