Orobdella whitmani has three syntype localities, Mt. Kinkazan, Gifu Pref., Mt. Kodaijiyama, Kyoto Pref. and Mt. Kimposan, Kumamoto Pref. The specimens from Mt. Kimposan can be distinguished from those from Mt. Kinkazan and Mt. Kodaijiyama by an annulation of somite XXVI, and possession of a tubular gastroporal duct. Specimens from Mt. Kimposan are described as representing a new species, Orobdella esulcata. Orobdella whitmani is redescribed with designation of a specimen from Mt. Kinkazan deposited at The University Museum, The University of Tokyo, as the lectotype.
日本山蛭有三个模式产地,分别是岐阜县的金鯱山、京都府的高台寺山和熊本县的金峰山。金峰山的标本与金鯱山和高台寺山的标本的区别在于第26体节具环纹,且有一条管状的胃孔管。金峰山的标本被描述为代表一个新物种,即沟纹山蛭。重新描述了日本山蛭,指定存于东京大学大学博物馆的来自金鯱山的一个标本为选模标本。
