“…The two gray arrows denote the two major derived nodes leading to two simultaneous and independent radiations, one predominantly in birds the other predominantly in mammals. Spirorchiidae samples fall into two clades concordant with the results of Bullard et al [ 61 ], with a South American species recovered from a freshwater turtle, as sister to Schistosomatidae.…”

“…Paratamatam iquitosiensis Bullard & Roberts, 2019 C. fimbriata; adult; blood vessels of kidney and mesentery; Loreto (03°45 ′ S, 73°14 ′ W) (holotype, USNM 1557313; paratype, USNM 1557314-1557319) (Bullard et al, 2019).…”

“…Relatively little is known about liolopid infections especially in turtles, with only 3 publications total that have detailed an infection in a turtle ( Odhner, 1912 ; Travassos, 1922 ; Skrjabin, 1962 ); only L. dollfusi and the new species reportedly mature in turtles exclusively ( Table 1 ). This is astonishingly low sampling effort given the extremely high diversity of extant freshwater turtle species ( Rhodin et al, 2017 ; Bullard et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Measurements were obtained with a calibrated ocular micrometer (as straight-lines along the course of each duct) and are reported in micrometres (μm) as the range followed by the mean, +/− standard deviation, and sample size in parentheses. Two specimens were processed for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as per Bullard et al (2019) . Type and voucher materials of the new species were deposited in the National Museum of Natural History's Invertebrate Zoology Collection (USNM, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.).…”
