As demonstrate d by Scholz et al. (1997a), metacercariae from the internal organs of cichlid ®sh from southeastern Mexico had been misidenti®ed as Phagicola angrense (Travassos, 1916) (5 Ascocotyle ( Phagicola) angrense Travassos, 1916 ) by Salgado- Maldonado and Aguirre-Macedo (1991), JimeÂnez-GarcõÂa (1993), and Aguirre- Macedo and GarcõÂa-MaganÄa (1994). Ascocotyle ( P.) angrense is characterized by the presence of 181 2 circumoral spines (versus 161 4 in A. ( P.) nana ) and its metacercariae encyst exclusively in the gills of the atheriniform ®sh Phalloceros caudimaculatus (Ostrowski de NuÂnÄez, 1993). To date, A. ( P.) angrense has not been found in Mexico and its distribution may be limited to South America.
