Authors/Creators
Description
Erpobdella testacea (Savigny, 1822)
Records: Nesyt Pond, Lednice [7266], 48°46'48''N / 16°43'25''E, (Košel 1999a) (Figure 3).
Habitats: The occurrence of Erpobdella testacea is restricted to lowland stagnant waters; to date, this species had been recorded from only one pond located in the south-eastern part of Czech Republic.
Status: Although Erpobdella testacea is one of several species that are difficult to identify, it is nonetheless considered to be very rare in the Czech Republic; thus, we recommend a certain degree of protection for this species until further studies can establish its true status in the country.
