Abstract

AbstractSpecimens of Foleyellides were collected from the body cavity of frogs in different regions of Mexico; Lithobates brownorum from Yucatán, Quintana Roo and Campeche; L. megapoda from Jalisco and Rhinella marina, from Guerrero. Foleyellides calakmulesisn. sp. is described based on specimens found parasitizing L. brownorum. The new species is distinguished from the other members of the genus by the combination of the following male characters: four pairs of caudal papillae different in size and the presence of a preanal plaque. Partial DNA sequences of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase C, subunit I of the four known Mexican species of Foleyellides and two potentially new species collected in this study were generated and compared, validating the erection of the new species.
