Research Article Ecologica Montenegrina 29: 10-19 (2020) This journal is available online at: www.biotaxa.org/em An updated checklist of leeches (Annelida: Hirudinea) from Bosnia and Herzegovina DEJAN DMITROVIĆ1 & VLADIMIR PEŠIĆ2 1University of Banja Luka, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Department of Biology and Department of Ecology and Environment Protection, Mladena Stojanovića 2, 78000 Banja Luka, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, e-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Biology, University of Montenegro, Cetinjski put bb, 81000 Podgorica, Montenegro, e-mail: [email protected] Received 28 January 2020 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 3 March 2020 │ Published online 5 March 2020. Abstract An updated checklist of leeches (Annelida: Hirudinea) from Bosnia and Herzegovina is presented. The current checklist includes 21 species and subspecies in 14 genera and six families. There are 18 aquatic species (17 freshwater and one marine), two semi-aquatic species and one terrestrial. Two species, Piscicola hadzii Sket, 1985 and Dina sketi Grosser & Pešić, 2014, inhabit only a few localities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and can be considered as endemic species to this area. Based on the original data from the recent research, new records of Dina sketi are given. Key words: Hirudinea, diversity, endemic leeches, new records, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Introduction The first work on the leeches from Bosnia and Herzegovina was given by Von Dr. Ludwig Johansson in the early twentieth century (Johansson 1913). Subsequently, further contributions to the knowledge of leeches in Bosnia and Herzegovina were provided by Remy (1937), Autrum (1958), Sket (1968, 1985) and Šapkarev (1978). In the field of systematics, papers given by Johansson (1913), Autrum (1958) and Sket (1985) included descriptions of new species whose holotypes originated from Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the other hand, papers given by Remy (1937), Sket (1968) and Šapkarev (1978) dealt with faunistics and distribution of leeches at the national and/or regional level. Ecological patterns of leeches from the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina are poorly investigated and generally there is a lack of studies on their autecology. The latest checklist of leeches from Bosnia and Herzegovina was published by Lelo & Kašić-Lelo (2012). They listed 17 leech species for the whole country, although without providing details on their occurrence. The checklist by Lelo & Kašić-Lelo (2012) also missed records from Matoničkin & Pavletić (1960). Recently, our knowledge of leeches from Bosnia and Herzegovina was broadened by adding records of new species for the national fauna (e.g., Trocheta haskonis), as well as by describing one species that is new for the science (Dina sketi). Ecologica Montenegrina, 29, 2020, 10-19 DMITROVIĆ & PEŠIĆ The aim of this paper is to give an updated checklist of leeches for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Moreover, new records are given for Dina sketi, enlarging our knowledge of the distribution of this endemic species. Material and methods The checklist of leeches from Bosnia and Herzegovina was compiled with the analysis of published literature records and the original author’s data. Nomenclature and taxonomical status of leeches are given according to Nesemann & Neubert (1999) and Košel (2004). For new findings leeches were collected with a tweezers from the underside of hard substratum and on submerged plants as well as on the banks. The material is preserved in 96% ethanol and deposited in the author’s collections. Results The updated checklist of leeches from Bosnia and Herzegovina includes 21 species and subspecies of leeches, from 14 genera and six families (Table 1). The most species rich families are: Erpobdellidae (seven species), Glossiphoniidae (five species) and Piscicolidae (four species). The other families are represented by three species (Hirudinidae), and with a single species each (Haemopidae and Xerobdellidae). Table 1.

Particular attention was also given to collect data and information for specific purposes concerning the development of the Danube Water Quality Model, the identification and evaluation of hot spots, the analysis of social and economic factors, the preparation of an investment portfolio and the development of financing mechanisms for the implementation of the ICPDR Action Plan. For the elaboration of the National Reviews, a team of national experts was recruited in each of the participating countries for a period of one to four months covering the following positions: Socio-economist with knowledge in population studies, Financial expert (preferably from the Ministry of Finance), Water Quality Data expert/information specialist, Water Engineering expert with knowledge in project development. Each of the experts had to organize his or her work under the supervision of the respective Country Programme Coordinator and with the guidance of a team of International Consultants. The tasks were laid out in specific Terms of Reference. At a Regional Workshop in Budapest from 27 to 29 January 1998, the national teams and the group of international consultants discussed in detail the methodological approach and the content of the National Reviews to assure coherence of results.

[krijelj 2, S. \ug 2 Summary The first detailed investigation of Gastropods in the basin of river Fojni~ka has been carried out in 2001 –2002. The material has been sam - pled five times during four seasons (October 2001 –September 2002) at 11 sites in the following waterways: the rivers Fojni~ka, Draga~a, @eljeznica, Kre{evka and Lepenica. Measurement of certain physical and chemical parameters (BOD 5, water temperature, pH value, amount of dissolved ox- ygen, saturation with oxygen and one time measurement of concentration of nitrates and phosphates) has been carried out together with collecting of macroinvertebrates of zoobenthos. Since the knowledge of biodiversity of Gastropods in Bosnia and Herzegovina is at the very low level, the main objective of this paper is to give an overview of distribution of Gas- tropods communities in the Fojni~ka river basin. In these investigations, 11 taxa of Gastropods and 1468 individuals have been determined. The Gastropods made 16% of total settlement of macroinvertebrates of zoobenthos. Dominant species at investigated sites was Ancylus fluviatilis , while species Acicula sp. , Saxurinator sp . and Valvata piscinalis were just sporadically recorded.
