Abstract
    Two species of Malacobdella, found in the mantle cavity of bivalve molluscs on the Pacific coast of North America, are described. One of them, M. siliquae, lives in Siliqua patula. The other, M. macomae, has two known hosts, Macoma secta and M. nasuta. The taxonomy of known species of the genus Malacobdella is discussed.
