Haemopis sanguisuga is a species of freshwater leech in the family Haemopidae.[1][2][3] It is commonly called the horse-leech, but that is due to the similarity of its appearance to the leech Limnatis nilotica, which sometimes enters the nasal cavities of livestock. Haemopis sanguisuga does not behave in this way.[4] Another synonym for this leech is Aulastomum gulo.[5]
