From editor or global species database
Additional information acanthobdellids are permanent parasites of cold-water fish, especially salmonids and thymallids; Acanthobdella peledina is widespread and found in boreal region from Scandinavia, throughout boreal Siberia and Alaska; Acanthobdella livanowi appears confined to Kamchatka Peninsula of extreme eastern Siberia [details]
Publication date There is a date inconsistency. Grube (1850) in 'Archiv für Naturgeschichte' includes Acanthobdella (name only) but refers to the work "Annulaten" in the Middendorff journal which was apparently published in 1851 and has the Acanthobdella description. The dates could be correct, in which case Acanthobdella Grube 1850 is a nomen nudum,or Grube (1850) could be published in 1851. [details]
