“…lacustris (Dias et al ., 2018). The genus Creptotrematina Yamaguti, 1954 was erected to include two species of allocreadiids originally described by Freitas (1941) as belonging to the genus Creptotrema Travassos, Artigas & Pereira, 1928 from Brazil and Argentina, as parasites of characid fish: Creptotrematina dissimilis (Freitas, 1941) Yamaguti, 1954 in Tetragonopterus argenteus Cuvier, 1816 in Brazil, and in Astyanax bimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Astyanax eigenmanniorum (Cope, 1894) in Argentina; and Creptotrematina dispar (Freitas, 1941) Manter, 1962 in Triportheus paranensis (Günther, 1874) in Brazil and Argentina (see Kohn et al ., 2007). A third species was described by Jiménez-Guzmán, Creptotrematina aguirrepequenoi Jiménez-Guzmán, 1973, in Astyanax mexicanus (De Filippi, 1853) in north-eastern Mexico, and later found also in Costa Rica in Astyanax aeneus (Günther, 1860) (Curran et al ., 2011).…”
A new species of Creptotrematina Yamaguti, 1954 was collected from characid fishes, Astyanax fasciatus (Cuvier, 1819) and Astyanax lacustris Lucerna & Soares, 2016 from the Batalha River in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The new species most closely resembles Creptotrematina aguirrepequenoi, but differs by the elongated shape of vitelline follicles, the extension of these follicles in the posterior end of body and the fact that they are not confluent. The morphological differences were confirmed through molecular data. Three specimens were sequenced, and molecular analyses were based on the internal transcribed spacers 2 and D1–D3 domains of the 28S ribosomal RNA gene. The obtained topologies showed the new species as a sister taxon of C. aguirrepequenoi, a species originally described from Astyanax mexicanus in Mexico, and later found in Astyanax aeneus in Costa Rica. Isolates of the new species are reciprocally monophyletic, and genetic distance values are similar to those observed in other species pairs within Allocreadiidae. These findings corroborate that the genus Creptotrematina is mostly a parasite of characids, and widely extended across the Americas, with representative species occurring between Argentina and northern Mexico.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
