Family Rhopaliidae Looss
Species of this rare group occur mainly in marsupials from the Americas, but occasionally in other in omnivorous mammals (and birds). The life-cycle is not known, but bats likely acquire the parasite by the ingestion of metacercariae encysted on the surface of vegetation or on/in molluscs or other invertebrates.
Species: R. coronatus ( Rudolphi, 1819)
