Description Translated from Schmarda by Llewellyn (1966): "Description after Schmarda. Body cylindrical, length 48 mm. and breadth 10 mm., attenuated at each end, tuberculate and a dirty green with a little yellow and brown coloration. Anterior sucker with sixteen rounded tubercles and with eight papillae on the rim. Anterior : posterior sucker ratio 1 : 1.6. Posterior sucker bell-shaped. Said to have some similarities to the quadriannulate form Pontobdella spinulosa, which is now a synonym of Pontobdella muricata. " [details]

Description Translated from Schmarda by Llewellyn (1966): "Description after Schmarda. Body cylindrical, length 48 mm. and breadth 10 mm., attenuated at each end, tuberculate and a dirty green with a little yellow and brown coloration. Anterior sucker with sixteen rounded tubercles and with eight papillae on the rim. Anterior : posterior sucker ratio 1 : 1.6. Posterior sucker bell-shaped. Said to have some similarities to the quadriannulate form Pontobdella spinulosa, which is now a synonym of Pontobdella muricata. " [details]Editor's comment There seem to be almost no usages of this name after its description. Vaillant (1890) mentions it in passing, and Llewellyn (1966) in relatively modern times repeats the Schmarda description without further comment or re-evaluation [details]
