M. Kinsella et S. Deblock, MICROPHALLIDAE TRAVASSOS, 1920 (TREMATODA ) .50. TESTICULOPORUS-CEDARKEYENSIS NG, N-SP, AND ENDOCOTYLE-BUSHI N-SP, PARASITES OF AN AMERICANCATOPTROPHORUS (AVES), Systematic parasitology, 37(1), 1997, pp. 67-72
The authors describe and illustrate three different species of microph
allid trematodes parasitic in the intestine of an American willet Cato
ptrophorus semipalmatus (Aves). Testiculoporus cedarkeyensis n. g., n,
sp. has morphological characters related to Odhneria and Pseudospelot
rema, along with a genital pore drawn back to the level of the sinistr
al testis. Two species of Odhneria (minuta Ke, 1979 and papilloprocera
Ke, 1980), which appear aberrant because of the atypical posterior po
sition of their genital pore, are transferred to the new genus. Endoco
tyle bushi n. sp. differs from the two other species in the genus by t
he disposition of the posterior uterine loops, the extension of the vi
tellarium, egg size and geographical distribution. The evaginated cirr
us of Odhneria odhneri is described.
