Abstract

This paper describes Diegloglossidium maradonai n. g., n. sp. a parasite of the intestine of Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock) from La Plata River basin. The new genus is morphologically similar to members of Alloglossidiidae and Macroderoidiidae although they also share some traits observed in both families. Those families can be differentiated from each other by the combination of morphological features, including the density and distribution of the tegumental spines, the distribution of the vitelline follicles and the extent of the post-testicular space. The molecular analyses based on the large subunit of the ribosomal RNA gene, and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions including ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2 unequivocally place the new genus in the family Alloglossidiidae which is amended based on new observed features. Diegoglossidium n. g. is characterized by a combination of characteristics, being most notably the presence of a deeply lobed ovary. Lastly, the geographical distribution and host associations of the two closely related Neotropical genera of Alloglossidiidae: Magnivitellinum and Diegoglossidium are discussed, and the host and distribution range of Magnivitellinum saltaensis is expanded into Argentina.
