Abstract
We present the first record of Parabdella quadrioculata (Annelida: Hirudinida: Glossiphoniidae) from Japan. Leeches were collected from the Japanese pond turtle Mauremys japonica and a Japanese man. Mauremys japonica is a new host for this leech. This report is the first case of human infestation by the glossiphoniid leech.
