Life history studies of heterophyid trematodes in the Neotropical Region: Pygidiopsis australis sp. n., a sibling species of P. pindoramensis Travassos, 1929

The life cycle of Pygidiopsis australis sp. n. was reproduced experimentally, starting from cercariae from naturally infected Littoridina castellanosae (Hydrobiidae) collected from artificial ponds in the Zoological Garden in Buenos Aires. Metacercariae were found encysted in the mesenteries, intern...
