Redescriptions of two echinostomes from freshwater fishes, with comments on Singhia Yamaguti, 1958 and Caballerotrema Prudhoe, 1960 (Digenea: Echinostomatidae).

Abstract:

:The type-species of Singhia and Caballerotrema (Digenea: Echinostomatidae), parasites of freshwater fishes which have previously been assigned to the subfamily Singhiinae Yamaguti, 1958, are redescribed. One of the specimens of the type-series of Caballerotrema brasiliense Prudhoe, 1960 was identified as C. aruanense Thatcher, 1980. C. arapaimense Thatcher, 1980 is considered a species inquirenda. Himasthla piscicola Stunkard, 1960 is transferred to Caballerotrema as C. piscicola n. comb. The generic diagnoses of Singhia and Caballerotrema are redefined and Singhia is re-allocated to the Echinostomatinae Looss, 1899, the Singhiinae becoming a synonym of the latter.
