3.1.4. Trypanoxyuris kotudoi n. sp. ( Fig. 5 View Fig )
Description based on 28 specimens. Buccal aperture delimited by three notched lips, dorsal and left ventral lip are bilobulated; right ventral lip with a salient square-shaped edge at the inner region; lobes in the left ventral lip approximately symmetrical.
Females (n = 19): Lips show discrete lateral indentations in the upper border, bilateral in the dorsal lip, while unilateral in the most ventral border in both ventral lips. Lateral alae double crested ( Figs. 4 View Fig and 5 View Fig ). Measurements are given in Table 2 View Table 2 .
Males (n = 9). Lips with discrete notches compared to females; indentations in the outer border are not observable; arch between lobes significantly smaller in the left ventral lip compared with the dorsal lip ( Fig. 6 View Fig ). Tail appendage absent. Measurements are given in Table 3. 3.1.4.1. Taxonomic summary. Type-host: A. seniculus (Linneus, 1766) , red howler monkey View Table 3 View Table 4 . Site of infection: Not determined (samples were obtained from faeces).
Type-locality: San Juan del Carare , Santander Department, Colombia (06̊ 43 N, 74̊ 09′W; 150 m. a.s.l.) .
Type material: Holotype: CNHE: No 11216, paratypes CNHE: No. 11217.
No individuals: 28/99 (28.3%) of the recovered specimens of Trypanoxyuris belong to this species.
Etymology: The specific epithet derives from a combination of the Quechua word for red howler monkeys “kotu”, and its common name in Colombia “mono cotudo”.
3.1.4.2. Remarks. This species is morphologically similar to T. seunimii n. sp., and both species can be found in mixed infections in the same individual host. The presence of two bilobulated lips and double crested lateral alae in females of T. kotudoi n. sp. differentiates it from T. seunimii n. sp. Males of these two species are readily distinguished by the absence of a tail appendage in T. kotudoi n. sp.; additionally, the oval shape of the right ventral lip, rather than a triangular shape differentiate it from T. seunimii n. sp. ( Fig. 6 View Fig ). Trypanoxyuris kotudoi n. sp. also resembles T. pigrae , but several traits can help to distinguish between these two species: the square-shaped salient edge in the right ventral lip of T. kotudoi n. sp. rather than flat inner edge shown in T. pigrae , the symmetric versus asymmetric lobes of the left ventral lip in females of T. kotudoi n. sp. compared to T. pigrae ( Fig. 4 View Fig ); the narrow arch between lobes in the dorsal lip of T. kotudoi n. sp. compared to a wider arch in T. pigrae ( Fig. 4 View Fig ); and the double crested alae in females of T. kotudoi n. sp. while single crested in T. pigrae . Males of these two species distinguish from each other by the lack of tail appendage in the new species, and the sharp protuberances formed as a result of the notches in the lips, which are observable in T. pigrae ( Fig. 6 View Fig ). Additionally, the host, with T. pigrae found in A. pigra and T. kotudoi n. sp. found in A. seniculus . Egg size and shape are highly similar among species, making these characters not useful for species level diagnosis.
