Abstract: Glossiphonia verrucata (Fr. Müller, 1844) and Glossiphonia concolor (Apáthy, 1888), two nearly unknown leeches from Central Europe, were collected from a great number of localities in Hungary, Austria and Germany. The type-localities were also revisited. Both species are newly described and data to the range of variability given. G. verrucata inhabits the stream of mountainous regions, while G. concolor occurs in slowly running streams and rivers of the plains. G. verrucata is new to the Hungarian fauna, G. concolor is new to the Danubian and Rhenanian fauna of Austria and Germany.
