Pseudocleptodiscus margaritae Caballero

Testudines (A): Intestine.

TABASCO: Río Teapa: Dermatemys mawii ( Thatcher, 1963b) ; Villahermosa: Dermatemys mawii ( Caballero, 1961) .

Specimens deposited: USNPC (60309).

Notes: Described as Pseudocleptodiscus bravoae ( Caballero-Rodríguez, 1960) , and later designated as Pseudocleptodiscus margaritae ( Caballero, 1961) . The material from Río Teapa was described as Dadaytrema sphaerorchidum ( Thatcher, 1963b) , and later transferred to Pseudocleptodiscus ( Yamaguti, 1971) . However, P. sphaerorchidum was proposed as a synonym of P. margaritae ( Yamaguti, 1971) , based on the revision of the type material. Currently this genus is considered monotypic (Jones, 2005). Type material of P. margaritae is lost.
