Thick and large leeches up to 80 (-140) mm length, annulation formula of somites: el, c2, b2, a2, b5, ell, d23, d24. Long and rostelloid oral sucker. Pseudognaths strongly develloped. Pharynx with small accessory pseudognaths and folds (Fig. 34). Atrium restricted on somite XII, reaching from XII cl/c2 to XII b2/a2. Atrium thick and strong with simple spirally coiled cornua (Figs 32-33). Male gonopore in the furrow XII b2/a2, female's in XII bS/cll.

T. bykowskii occurs in springs, caves and fast flowing mountain streams.

This species was recently found in the Wienerwald mountains (Mauerbach) and in the Aggteleki-karszt (upper Bódva). Trocheta cylindrica ÖRLEY, 1886 1886 Trocheta cylindrica ÖRLEY, Math, és term.-tud.
