Glossiphoniidae
Glossiphoniidae
are the
family
called
freshwater jawless leeches
or
glossiphoniids
. They are one of the main groups of
Rhynchobdellida
, true
leeches
with a proboscis. These leeches are generally flattened, and have a poorly defined
anterior sucker
. Most suck the
blood
of freshwater
vertebrates
like
amphibians
and
aquatic
turtles
, but some feed on the
hemolymph
of
invertebrates
like
oligochaetes
and
freshwater snails
instead.
