Macrobdella diplotertia, the Ozark highlands leech, is a species of leech found in the southern United States.[1][2]
M. diplotertia was described in 1975 from Missouri, and has since been recorded from Kansas and Arkansas.[3][4] It is believed to be the sister taxon to Macrobdella decora.[5] A diagnostic characteristic is the arrangement of the copulatory gland pores. The species can grow up to 66 millimetres (2.6 in) long.[4]
