Abstract
Annulotrematoides, a new genus, is proposed to include species with th e following characteristics: presence of a longitudinal ventral groove on the posterior trunk; incomplete tegumental annulations; a vaginal aperture on the left margin of the trunk; overlapping gonads; dorsal a nd ventral anchor-bar complexes; 14 hooks with ancyrocephaline distrib ution; ventral bar with anteromedial process; and articulated accessor y piece and male copulatory organ. The first two characters are unique to the new genus; Annulotrematoides is monotypic. Annulotrematoides a mazonicus, new species, is described from the gills of Psectrogaster r utiloides (Kner) from Furo do Catalao near Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.
