BackgroundSawyer (1986)  included three species in the nasal leech genus    LimnatisMoquin-Tandon 1827 :    Limnatis   nilotica    ( Savigny 1822 ),    Limnatis   bacescuiManoleli 1972  and    Limnatis   paluda    ( Tennent 1859 ). The first and last species have mainly been identified in Middle Eastern countries (e.g.  Kinzelbach and Rückert 1985 ). The second species has been identified only in Romania Dobruja ( Manoleli 1972 ). Although    Limnatis    leeches are well known species of endoparasitic leeches,    Limnatis   nilotica    was recorded only once in Kazakhstan ( Lukin 1976 ).New informationSpecimens of the genus    Limnatis    from Almaty Province, Kazakhstan are identified as    Limnatis   paluda   . This is the first record of    Limnatis   paluda    from Kazakhstan. Mitochondrial COI and 12S data demonstrated that the present specimens are genetically close to an Israeli specimen identified as    Limnatis   nilotica   . In addition, molecular data suggest that some    Limnatis    specimens whose DNA sequences have been reported were misidentified. According to the observed phylogenetic relationships, the taxonomic status of the known    Limnatis    species should be revisited.
