A new species of glossiphoniid leech,    Placobdelloides   sirikanchanae    sp. nov. , is reported in the Asian leaf turtle (   Cyclemys   dentata   ) and the dark-bellied leaf turtle (   C.   enigmatica   ) from Songkhla Province, southern Thailand. The examination of morphological characters revealed that this new species is similar to    P.   siamensis    (Oka, 1917), a common turtle leech species found in Thailand.    Placobdelloides   sirikanchanae    sp. nov.  demonstrates distinct morphological characters, with an elongated, narrow body, 13–17 well-developed knob papillae on each annulus, dark brown to greenish dorsal color with a crimson median line, the absence of a scarlet dot, different male and female gonopore distributions, a rough posterior sucker with a random pit distribution, and 104–115 eggs per clutch. The phylogenetic relationships of COI-ND1 genes were clarified and shown to be distinct from those of    P.   siamensis   . Additionally, habitat preferences tended toward low oxygen conditions such as puddles or water patches on rubber plantations.
