Eleven species of leeches are recorded from Israel, and their diagnosis, distribution, and biology are given. In addition, notes are given on five species identified from Israel in the past, but not recorded in this survey. These latter include one species inquirenda; thus the number of confirmed leech records now stands at fifteen. Three species belong to the family Hirudinidae, three to Erpobdellidae, and nine to Glossiphoniidae. Information is also given on leeches from other Levantine countries (Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria), as well as from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
