Phaneropsolidae, Mehra, 1935

Phaneropsolidae View in CoL gen. sp.

Infection site: Stomach

Localities: Calcehtok and Homún

Prevalence (%) and mean intensity: Calcehtok 1.6 and 1 (1). Homún 1.6 and 1 (1)

Specimen deposited: CNHE-12312

Comments: Based on two specimens. Body slightly oval, 310–490 × 222–320 ( Figure 2D View FIGURE 2 ). Oral sucker subterminal, 80–150 × 100–180. Ventral sucker 75–120 × 90–125. Pharynx not observed. Genital pore in forebody. Testes post-ovarian at level of mid-body; right testis 48 × 70, left testis 45–90 × 80–128. Ovary pretesticular, 42–90 × 60–95. Vitellarium extending from oral sucker to anterior part of testes. The uterus covers the posterior third of body. Eggs 10–11 × 5–6.

The examined specimens have the main characteristics of Phaneropsolidae ( Bray et al. 2008) , namely, a genital pore sublateral, a pretesticular ovary, and the vitellarium in clusters. Due to the poor conditions of the specimens, some morphological characteristics (e.g., cirrus sac) could not be clearly observed; therefore, we prefer not to assign the trematodes to a specific level. This group of trematodes has been recorded in several bats belonging to the families Mormoopidae , Natalidae , Phyllostomidae , Molossidae , and Vespertilionidae from several countries in the Neotropics (see the complete references in Santos & Gibson 2015; Caspeta-Mandujano et al. 2017).
