Taxonomic and biological-ecological information as well as literature pertaining to the eleven Polish representatives of glossiphoniid leeches are summarized. Taxonomic status of many species is unclear, and data on their life histories are often fragmentary. The existence of several different conflicting systems of glossiphoniid classification indicates that the taxonomical value of characters is unclear. The family requires a thorough modern revision. A new generic-level classification of the family is needed. Data on behaviour and life cycless of most species should be supplemented; anatomical variation and differences between the purported forms of glossiphoniid species should be re-examined. A detailed study on the life cycles and variation of the Polish members of the Glossiphoniidae would provide new and valuable data and would allow at least for proposing a good, modern standard of species description without which a world-wide revision is hardly possible.
