Descriptive info nonmarine leeches [details]
Taxonomic remark Proposed by Moore as a possible subfamily (validlity of this proposal unclear). Family not recognised in Sawyer, 1986 (genera included in Haemadipsidae) but "resurrected" by Borda et al., 2008. From that work: Borda and Siddall (2004a) and Kutschera et al. (2007) proposed returning the subfamily Xerobdellinae (Moore, 1946) to family status (sensu Harrant and Grassé, 1959) for the non-IndoPacific clade. However, without the inclusion of other non-IndoPacific genera (i.e. Diestecostoma, Nesophilaemon) a formal revision of the group was not possible. [details]
