Remarks. This species was originally described from Parahydromys asper (Thomas, 1906) from the Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea ( Beveridge, 2008), being the only species of the genus known from the region. The current collections substantially increase the known host and geographic range of the cestode.
