The arhynchobdellid family Haemadipsidae and H. rjukjuana are newly added into the Korean leechfauna. This species is blood-feeding leech that attacks birds and medium or large sized mammals primarily,including human. The sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome c subunit I (COI), and the additional biology for thisspecies are presented. This is the first study of terrestrial blood-feeding leeches in Korea.
