Selfcoelum paradoxum
status

 

S. paradoxum (Marcó del Pont, 1926) n. comb.

Type host. Common gallinule, Gallinula galeata ( Lichtenstein) ( Gruiformes : Rallidae ).

Type locality. Buenos Aires, Argentina—Thatcher (1993).

Remarks. This species was considered to be a synonym of Cyclocoelum mutabile ( Zeder, 1800) by Dubois (1959). Yamaguti (1971) gave an egg length of 60 for this species; however, it is 160 in the original description by Marcó del Pont (1926). The original description provides only measurements of a body length, an egg length and an egg width; however, Fig.1 View FIGURES 1 – 4 of the original description does not show the cirrus sac. The presence of a rudimentary oral sucker is indicated in the description (“Pharynx immediately ahead of the union of the two intestinal branches, leaving only a tiny esophagus and something behind the mouth, which is infundibular.”) and Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 4 of the original description by Marcó del Pont (1926).
