Hirudinea (leeches; phylum Annelida) A class of worms in which segmentation is less obvious than in most annelids. Suckers are generally present at the anterior and posterior ends but chaetae are normally absent. The nervous system is well developed. All are hermaphrodites. They occur in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats, and some forms are bloodsuckers.
