Description (based on 22 specimens): body flat, elongated ( Figs. 2A–B View FIGURE 2 , 3A View FIGURE 3 ), 2.81 ± 0.44 (1.68–3.52) long by 0.77 ± 0.13 (0.45–1.04) wide. Lateral projections on each side of the oral sucker ( Figs. 2B View FIGURE 2 , 3C View FIGURE 3 ). Tegument covered with spines ( Fig. 3E–F View FIGURE 3 ), smooth oral sucker edges, and covered with small spines from the oral sucker to the genital pore ( Fig. 3C–D View FIGURE 3 ). Ventral surface concave and provided with numerous longitudinal rows of ventral papillae arranged irregularly, extending from the middle zone of the cirrus sac to posterior extremity ( Figs. 2B View FIGURE 2 , 3A–B View FIGURE 3 , 4A View FIGURE 4 ), with a diameter of 51.97 ± 6.34 (43.02–57.81) µm. Ventral sucker absent. Oral sucker subterminal, 0.28 ± 0.04 (0.21–0.34) long by 0.22 ± 0.003 (0.17–0.32) wide. Pharynx absent; oesophagus 0.05 ± 0.01 (0.04–0.07). Caeca with lateral diverticula in its entire extension, bordering vitelline follicles, fuse posteriorly to the ovary passing between testes, up to level of their posterior border ( Figs. 2A View FIGURE 2 , 4C View FIGURE 4 ). Testes irregularly lobed, oblique, posterior to caecal union, right testis 0.24 ± 0.05 (0.15–0.34) long by 0.19 ± 0.04 (0.13–0.27) wide, left testis 0.23 ± 0.05 (0.15–0.32) long by 0.19 ± 0.05 (0.13–0.28) wide. Cirrus sac median, elongate 0.68 ± 0.08 (0.55–0.88) long, containing cirrus and internal seminal vesicle ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 ). Cirrus not everted, with small spines ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE 4 ). Genital pore median, posterior to caecal bifurcation. Ovary median, pretesticular, transversally elongated ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ), 0.13 ± 0.03 (0.10–0.19) long by 0.24 ± 0.06 (0.10–0.36) wide. Vitelline follicles arranged in longitudinal series, extracaecal and pre-ovarian, ending close to testes, 0.60 ± 0.07 (0.50–0.70) long. Uterus transverse coils located in intercaecal space. Eggs oval, without polar filaments ( Figs. 2E View FIGURE 2 , 4D View FIGURE 4 ), 26.38 ± 11.94 (20.70–69.15) µm long by 8.54 ± 1.09 (6.72–10.25) µm wide.
