Family Rhabdochonidae (Travassos, Artigas and Pereira, 1928 subfam.) Skrjabin, 1946 Rhabdochonidae gen. sp. (larvae)

Host and record: Rhinella fernandezae (Co) , Scinax nasicus (Cope, 1862) (Co) , Scinax acuminatus (Cope, 1862) (Co) .

Site of infection: Gastric serous membrane.

Material deposited: CECOAL 0 9020606 ( R. fernandezae ), CECOAL 0 4101102, 0 5042115 ( S. nasicus ), CECOAL 0 4101101 ( S. acuminatus ).

References: Hamann et al. (2009b; 2010; 2013); González & Hamann (2010b). Life cycle: Amphibians act as paratenic hosts; amphipods and, especially, ephemeropters, as intermediate hosts.

Adults are parasites of the digestive tract, the abdominal cavity and some internal organs especially of coldblooded vertebrates; they are rare in mammals ( Anderson 2000).
