Figure 21

The presence of four pairs of eyespots, colored patches dispersed on the dorsal and ventral surface, two annuli between gonopores, spirally coiled atrial cornua, ejaculatory ducts forming preatrial loops, and a relatively large size correspond to the description of Erpobdella obscura (see Klemm, 1982). Found on the underside of submerged rocks and wood.
