Mimobdella Büttikoferi Blanchard, 1897[2] The Kinabalu giant red leech (Mimobdella buettikoferi) is a large bright orange-red coloured leech that is endemic to Mount Kinabalu, Borneo.

The holotype was collected by Johann Büttikofer,[2] and the specific name buettikoferi is derived from his surname.

[3] It lives in the damp leaf litter and soil that often accumulates in fissures.

It can be found in Kinabalu Park at an elevation of 2,500 to 3,000 metres (8,200 to 9,800 ft) where the trail runs over a rocky outcrop near to the Mempening and Paka Cave shelters.

[4] Kinabalu giant red leech is currently classified under the genus Mimobdella of the family Salifidae.
