diagnosis
Diagnosis. This species can be recognized by the longitudinally striped color pattern on the reddish brown dorsum, with a broad, bluish-gray, yellow-greenish, or multicolored median-paramedian field that contains three to five black or dark brown broken stripes inside (Fig. 2 A). It has a white or pale yellowish longitudinal marginal stripe with dark-spotted borders, as well as a uniformly yellowish brown venter, which distinguishes this species from other land leech species in Taiwan.
