Halipegus eccentricus Thomas, 1944 View in CoL

Site of infection: Eustachian tubes.

Recruitment: ingestion.

Distribution: USA: Michigan ( Thomas 1939; Muzzall 2005, in tadpoles); Nebraska ( Brooks et al. 2006a).

Specimens in collections: USNPC: 9203 (holotype and paratypes) .

Remarks: This species was described by Thomas (1939) based on immature specimens parasitizing L. catesbeianus , but the material was deposited in USNPC as parasite of L. clamitans . McAlpine and Burt (1998b) considered this species a junior synonym of H occidualis , but Zelmer and Esch (1999) and McAlpine (2006) rejected this suggestion.
