Haemopis sanguisuga can reach a length of 10 cm (4 in), a similar size to the medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis, but can extend to a greater length when stretched out. The body is segmented; the upper surface is brownish-black, usually a solid colour but sometimes with streaks and spots, and the under surface is yellowish-grey or olive.
