Monticellius indicum Mehra, 1939, is redescribed from the heart of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) at Tortuguero National Park, Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Of the 40 green turtles examined, only 5 (12.5%) were infected with a mean intensity of 1.6. Our specimens are consistent with the original description based on a single fluke from the heart of the same host species in the Arabian Sea, Pakistan, but our redescription provides an unreported range of variation while adding new information about acetabulum structure and egg morphology.

“…Since their description from green turtles, neither species has ever been recorded again. Only recently 3 specimens of M. indicum have been collected from the green turtles of Brazil [4]. In this paper, M. indicum is redescribed on the basis of specimens collected from the heart of C. mydas at Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica.…”

SummaryThis paper presents a list of parasites described in sea turtles from the Neotropical region. Through the review of literature the occurrence of 79 taxa of helminthes parasites were observed, mostly consisting of the Phylum Platyhelminthes with 76 species distributed in 14 families and 2 families of the Phylum Nematoda within 3 species. Regarding the parasite records, the most studied host was the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) followed by the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) and leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). Overall helminths were reported in 12 countries and in the Caribbean Sea region. This checklist is the largest compilation of data on helminths found in sea turtles in the Neotropical region.

“…There are few studies on the occurrence of parasites from the family Spirorchiidae in Brazil, with only five species reported thus far: Learedius learedi Price, 1934 (Werneck et al, 2006) and Monticellius indicum Mehra, 1939 (Werneck et al, 2008a) in juvenile specimens of C. mydas; A. solus in an adult specimen of C. mydas (Werneck et al, 2011); and Carettacola stunkardi (Martin &Bamberger, 1952) Dailey, Fast &Balazs, 1991 andA. caborojoensis in E. imbricata (Werneck et al, 2008b). This is the first report of A. indicus found in sea turtles from the Brazilian coast, thus providing important information about helminth fauna in this region and broadening the geographical distribution of this species.…”
