Spaniometra oculobia ( Cohn, 1902) — Type and only species
Type host. Grey plover, Pluvialis squatarola (Linnaeus) (Syns. Squatarola squatarola [Linnaeus]; Vanellus melanogaster Bechstein ) ( Charadriiformes : Charadriidae )— Yamaguti (1971). Given as “ Vanelli melanogastri ” in the original description.
Type locality. Germany; specific type locality unknown.
Remarks. This species was originally described as Monostomum oculobium Cohn, 1902 , but was described as not having a cirrus sac. Spaniometra Kossack, 1911 was considered to be a synonym of Ophthalmophagus Stossich, 1902 by Gower (1939). Kossack (1911) generally accepted the description of Cohn (1902), but he found the cirrus sac to be present in the original material used by Cohn (1902) from the Institute of Greifswald Collection and provided a more complete illustration of the species. Kossack (1911) and Yamaguti (1971) considered the vitelline fields to be confluent posteriorly in S. oculobia (type species of this genus); however, Kanev et al. (2002a, Fig. 20.9) and Dronen (2007a) considered the vitelline fields to be not confluent posteriorly in this genus based on “ Spaniometra variolaris ( Fuhrmann, 1904) ” (= Bothrigaster variolaris [ Fuhrmann, 1904]). In S. oculobia the posttesticular ovary forms nearly a straight line with the tandem testes (Ophthalmophaginae), the testes are somewhat separated from each other and located some distance anterior to the ovary near the midbody, and the vitelline fields are confluent posteriorly, placing it in Spaniometra. In this species the posttesticular space is extensive, 4,500 long or more, or about 50% of body length (see Fig. 16 View FIGURES 14 – 18 ). No oral or ventral sucker present—Cohn (1902); Kossack (1911) and Bashkirova (1950).
