Of the investigated rivers the Rába and Kerka have to be mentioned. In both rivers eight species were collected, from which three are rare in the case of the Rába: Glossiphonia paludosa, Caspiobdella fadejewi, Cystobranchus respirons, and two in case of the Kerka: C. fadejewi, T. riparia. Three new species were described from the fauna of the Dráva River and its watershed area compared to Nesemann (1998): Placobdella costata, Piscicola geometra, Hirudo verbana. Acknowledgements The authors wish to express their acknowlegdement to Mr. Hasko Nesemann for his invaluable help in taxonomic problem solving and information on the distribution of Hirudo species. Thanks are also due to Dr. László Forró (Hungarian Natural History Museum) for his valuable help throughout the preparation of the paper. References Csányi, B.
