Treatment

Indopolystoma zuoi (Shen, Wang & Fan, 2013) View in CoL

n. comb. (Table 4)

Synonym: Polystoma zuoi Shen, Wang & Fan, 2013 View in CoL [ 40].

Type-host: Philautus palpebralis Smith. Now Feihyla palpebralis (Smith) [ 21].

Site: Bladder.

Type-locality: Pingbian county , Yunnan province (22° 57.295, N, 103°41.959, E).

Remarks: Although the authors of the original description did not draw the marginal hooklets [ 40], the general morphology of this species, including hamuli shape (unbranched), is consistent with the diagnosis of Indopolystoma . The haptor/ total body length ratio of about 0.26 is so much bigger than that of any other Indopolystoma spp. Nevertheless, a phylogeny based on partial 18S sequences only (unpublished results) showed that this species fell within the clade of Indopolystoma species.
