Popis: For the first time, Piscicola brylinskae was described from Lake Vechten in the village of Bunnik, near Utrecht — The Netherlands. Until now, P. brylinskae has been found in Poland in Lake Maroz and in the Łyna River near Olsztyn (the northern part of Warmian-Masurian voivodeship). Thanks to proper conservation the coloration of P. brylinskae was described for the first time. Applying 32 indexes resulted that P. brylinskae clustered to Caspiobdella fadejewi. Analysis based on 113 non-metric characteristics has shown that P. brylinskae is most similar to Piscicola margaritae. Though, P. brylinskae do not form with P. margaritae dichotomic branching nor with any other species from this cluster, it could confirm that it is an individual species of the Piscicola genus.
