Abstract

Abstract Leeches of the genus Dina are one of the most abundant leech species in running waters in Montenegro. This paper described a new yellowish-spotted and medium-sized leech from the Skadar Lake basin in Montenegro. Phylogenetic analysis based on COI data reveals that Dina nesemanni sp. nov. is more closely related to D. latestriata from Prespa Lake than to other yellow-spotted leeches known from montane and alpine areas of Montenegro. Morphologically, the new species can be separated from all other yellow-spotted leeches by the peculiar shape of the ovisacs. The new species is a characteristic and possibly an endangered representative of the fauna of highly threatened Mediterranean ponds and swamps in the central and southern part of Montenegro. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:973D45A4-D488-4848-89E2-7659D936F06C

综合分类揭示了黑山古斯卡达尔湖流域水蛭属Dina R. Blanchard, 1892的一新种(节动物，水蛭目:水蛭科)

摘要Dina属水蛭是黑山流水中数量最多的水蛭之一。本文描述了黑山斯卡达尔湖流域一种新的黄色斑点中型水蛭。基于COI数据的系统发育分析表明，Dina nesemanni sp.nov.与黑山山地和高山地区已知的其他黄斑水蛭相比，与普雷斯帕湖的D.latestriata亲缘关系更密切。从形态学上讲，这种新物种可以通过卵囊的特殊形状与所有其他黄点水蛭分开。该新物种是黑山中部和南部受到高度威胁的地中海池塘和沼泽动物群的一个特征，可能是濒危动物群的代表。http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:973D45A4-D488-4848-89E2-7659D936F06C

期刊介绍： The European Zoological Journal (previously Italian Journal of Zoology) is an open access journal devoted to the study of all aspects of basic, comparative and applied protozoan and animal biology at molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organismal, population, and community-ecosystem level. Papers covering multiple levels of organization and integrative approaches to study animal form, function, development, ecology, evolution and systematics are welcome. First established in 1930 under the name of Il Bollettino di Zoologia, the journal now has an international focus, reflected through its global editorial board, and wide author and readership.
