A total of 336 Branchiobdella kozarovi (Subchev, 1978) were found as a part of the invertebrate investigation conducted in the vulnerable "wetland "Choklyovo Blato"" wetland (western Bulgaria) in October 2015. The collected branchiobdellid worms, found on three female Astacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823), present the westernmost finding of this species on the Balkan Peninsula.
