  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Placobdella sophieae&lt;/em&gt; Oceguera-Figueroa et al., 2010 (Hirudinida: Glossiphoniidae) is reported from Oregon, California, and British Columbia for the first time. New hosts reported for &lt;em&gt;P. sophieae&lt;/em&gt; include &lt;em&gt;Taricha granulosa&lt;/em&gt; (rough-skinned newt), &lt;em&gt;Rana pretiosa&lt;/em&gt; (Oregon spotted frog), and &lt;em&gt;Anaxyrus boreas&lt;/em&gt; (western toad). &lt;em&gt;Placobdella sophieae&lt;/em&gt; exhibits relatively low host specificity and all amphibians occurring in the Pacific Northwest are potential hosts.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
