Abstract
This trematode is characterized by the presence of a very large, elongated holdfast organ contained within an elongated pouch of the ventral body wall. In this respect it is similar to the genus Duboisiella, but differs from it in the structure of the holdfast, which is not lobed; testes side by side; the absence of an ejaculatory pouch; and the presence of pseudosuckers. It also shows similarity to Pharyngostomum and Pharyngostomoides in the arrangement of the testes. However, the distinctive holdfast and ventral pouch separate it from these genera.Keywords
