Bagrobdella vanhovei sp. nov. is characterized by the morphology of its MCO which is unique among its congeners, presenting a non-terminal opening, whereas the other species have a terminal opening, and Bagrobdella vansteenbergei sp. nov. characterized by the size of its hooks, which are almost all of the same size, and its male copulating organ with a unique shape: a sub-terminal opening and no membrane surrounding. The Multivariate analysis done on morphometrical characters shows that the new and already described spe-cies are well individualized, except for Bagrobdella parauchenoglanii Akoumba, Pariselle, Tombi & Bilong Bilong, 2017 and Bagrobdella fraudulenta Euzet & Le Brun, 1990 (but these two species are easily distinguishable by their morphology), and that B. vanhovei sp. nov. has a great intra-specific morphometrical variation. | Notes: | Pariselle, A (corresponding author), Mohammed V Univ, Fac Sci, Lab Biodivers Ecol & Genome, Rabat 10000, Morocco.; Pariselle, A (corresponding author), Univ Montpellier, ISEM, CNRS, IRD, F-34095 Montpellier, France. antoine.pariselle@ird.fr |
