Nudacotyle carollia sp. nov. (Trematoda, Nudacotylidae) parasito intestinal de Carollia perspicillata L. (Chiroptera) en Colombia

Resumen

Nudacotyle carollia sp. nov. (Trematoda, Nudacotylidae) is described on the basis of specimens from the intestinal tracts of three Colombian bats of the species Carollia perspicillata L. The new species resembles both of the genera of the family, Nudacotyle and Neocotyle, in the general position of the organs and in having a vertical cleft. It differs from Nudacotyle in the position of the ovary and cirrus sac and in the lenth of the ceca. The new species differs from Neocotyle in the shape of the body and the vitelline lobes and in the length of the ceca. The ventral cleft is considered to be an important generic character which can be used to unit all the species of both genera in the single genus, Nudacotyle.
