Neste trabalho os autores discutem a posição sistemática do gênero Klossinemella Costa, 1961, propondo uma nova organização para a família Cobboldinidae Skrjabin, 1948. Apresentam a descrição das espécies dêste gênero (K. iheringi, K. conciliatus e K. travassosi sp. n.) e do ciclo evolutivo.<br>In the present work the authors give a new sistematic organization for the generic components of the family Cobboldinidae Skriabin, 1948. A new species of Klossinemella Costa, 1961 is described (K. travassosi) and the description of k. iheringi and K. conciliatus is given. Finally the authors discuss the biological cycle of Klossinemella Costa, 1961 in comparison with the cycle of Rondonia Travassos, 1919

Gastrointestinal parasites of Peltocephalus dumerilianus (Testudines: Podocnemididae) from Jaú National Park, Brazilian Amazon

“…The genus Klossinemella comprises the intestinal parasites of freshwater fish and turtles; however, a systematic analysis of this genus has not been undertaken yet. Klossinemella conciliatus has been found in the stomach of giant South American turtles ( P. expansa ) in the Amazonas state ( Costa et al, 1968 ). The species from turtles and fishes can only be distinguished based on the size of spicules, gubernacule, and the number of caudal papillae ( Costa, 1960 , 1961 ; Costa et al, 1968 ).…”

Klossinemella conciliatus has also been reported in the stomachs of yellow-spotted Amazon River turtles ( Podocnemis unifilis ) from Loreto and Ucayali in Peru ( Salízar & Sanchez, 2004 ).…”

DESCRIPCIÓN ANATOMOPATOLÓGICA DE LESIONES POR HELMINTOS GASTROINTESTINALES EN TORTUGAS MOTELO (Chelonoidis denticulata)

“…La observación de los helmintos se hizo con ayuda de un microscopio compuesto con objetivos de 10x y 40x, debidamente calibrados. Para la identificación se utilizó claves para trematodos (Travassos et al, 1969) y nematodos de reptiles (Vicente et al, 1993), además de reportes de la literatura (Costa, 1961;Alho, 1965;Costa et al, 1968;Freitas, 1968;Sprent, 1980;Bursey y Flanagan, 2002).…”
