<i>Troglodontobdella</i>, a New Replacement Name for the Preoccupied <i>Troglobdella</i> Liu and Nakano, 2025 (Hirudinea: Erpobdelliformes: Salifidae)
Troglodontobdella nom. nov. is herein proposed as a replacement name for the salifid leech genus Troglobdella Liu and Nakano in Liu, Li, Wu, Lin, Li, Nakano, and Liu, 2025, because the latter genus-group name is preoccupied by the acariform genus Troglobdella Oudemans, 1937.
