Studies on Indian Rhynchobdellid leeches.* I

  • Sanjib Chandra Baugh (a1)
Extract

Our knowledge of the Indian Rhynchobdellid leeches is still in its infancy, and the little that we have, we owe to the researches of Harding, Kaburaki, and Moore. After the publication of the Hirudinea volume by Harding & Moore (1927) in the Fauna of British India Series, Bhatia (1930a, b, 1934, 1939), Chelladurai (1934) and Raj (1951, 1954a, b) have contributed to the systematics of this group. The present work has been undertaken with a view to advancing further our knowledge of Indian Rhynchobdellid leeches. In this work, the neurosomic theory of somite limits launched independently by Castle (1900) and Moore (1900) has been followed in counting the annular composition of somites. This paper, the first of the series, deals with the description of four Glossiphonid leeches, of which three are new to science, while the fourth one is of zoogeographical importance.
