- Abstract
During a research of digeneans (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda) infecting leaf-nosed bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) from the Kawsay Biological Station in Madre de Dios, southeastern Peru, four new species were described based on light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM): Anenterotrema paramegacetabulumn. sp. from the seba's short-tailed bat Carollia perspicillata Linnaeus, A. hastatin. sp., A. kawsayensen. sp., and A. peruensen. sp. from the greater spear-nosed bat Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas). Anenterotrema paramegacetabulumn. sp. differs from all congeners by having a terminal oral sucker, a transversely elongated ventral sucker without clamp-shaped, and by having the testes located immediately posterior to ventral sucker. Anenterotrema hastatin. sp. is easily differentiated from the other congeneric species by having an almost clamp-shaped oral sucker, well-developed cirrus sac, a bilobulated seminal receptacle, and a group of well-developed unicellular glands located anterolateral to cirrus sac. Anenterotrema kawsayensen. sp. is characterized by possessing protuberances on the anterior margin of the oral sucker. Anenterotrema peruensen. sp. is mainly characterized by having the testes located principally anterior to ventral sucker and the cirrus sac located perpendicular to midline of the body. The present finding brings to 12, the number of known species of Anenterotrema. A key to the species of Anenterotrema Stunkard, 1938 is provided.
