Falcaustra caballeroi Chabaud & Golvan

Amphibia (A): Intestine.

DISTRITO FEDERAL: Lago de Xochimilco: Lithobates montezumae ( Caballero, 1935b) .

Specimens deposited: CNHE (2546) (H, P).

Notes: Specimens described as Dibulbiger longispiculis ( Caballero, 1935b) ; however, the genus Dibulbiger was considered synonym of Falcaustra by Chabaud and Golvan (1957). The name Falcaustra longispicula is pre-occupied, and for this reason Chabaud and Golvan (1957) designed Caballero’s material as Falcaustra caballeroi . According to Baker (1986b), F. caballeroi is apparently markedly similar to F. affinis .
