Abstract
An extensive speciation within Erpobdellidae (resp. Dina) has been noted in the Ohridsko Ezero (Lake) (Yugoslav-Albanian border). All species are anatomically similar to D. lineata, but differ strikingly in their body shapes. To the already described D. ohridana Sket and D. lepinjaSket & Šapkarev, descriptions of D. krilata sp. n., D. svilesta sp. n., and D. eturpshem sp. n., are added.
