Abstract

Abstract.— The complete holdings of Macrobdella species at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History were examined and the identity of 4 specimen lots were redetermined. One of these lots was redetermined as Macrobdella sestertia and represents the first report of this species from New Hampshire. Prior to this report, this species was only known from a few occurrences in eastern Massachusetts and Maine. This is also the first report of this species to be found in sympatry with Macrobdella decora, a more common congener with a widespread distribution.

摘要-对史密森尼国家自然历史博物馆收藏的巨齿龙物种进行了全面检查，并重新确定了4个标本的身份。其中一个被重新确定为Macrobdella sestertia，这是该物种在新罕布什尔州的首次报告。在此报告之前，这个物种只在马萨诸塞州东部和缅因州的一些地方被发现。这也是第一次发现该物种与分布广泛的同系科巨齿蕨(Macrobdella decora)共生。
