Abstract: The trematodes are parasites of the several vertebrates including amphibians, however the knowledge about of the taxonomy these parasites is still confuse. The trematode Choledocystus elegans was found in the small intestine of the Leptodactylus paraensis in eastern Amazon and presents the following characteristics: several pointed tegumentary spines, papillae on the outer and inner edges of the oral and ventral suckers, a round, well-developed cirrus sac, a well-developed cirrus, oblique testicles, a ovary ri… Show more

“…Pereira & Cuocolo, 1941, Plagiorchis Lühe, 1899and Glypthelmins Stafford, 1905. When they are adults, they infect organs of the digestive system of amphibians (Campião et al, 2014;Gomes, et al, 2017). Plagiorchioideae have a quite polemic classification, since researchers have not reached a consensus about morphological differences that differentiate their families, genera and species.…”

“…In this study, specimens found on anurans have characteristics that are similar to the ones of Choledocystus, Plagiorchis (Plagiorchiidae) and Glypthelmins (Glypthelminthidae). However, in order to identify these genera, helminths must be observed by electronic microscopy and molecular studies must be used (Razo-Mendivil & Ponce de León, 2008;Gomes et al, 2017). Therefore, these studies introduce and broadly discusses digenetic helminths that belong to this group.…”
