Abstract

1. A new trematode Tremajoannes buckleyi gen. et sp. nov., is described from the bats Pteronotus davyi fulvus and Mormoops megalophylla from Colombia, Central America. A comparison between Tremajoannes gen. nov. and the other related genera of the family Lecithodendriidae is given.2. Primatotrema Premvati, 1958 is considered as a synonym of Phaneropsolus Looss, 1899, accordingly Primatotrema macacae should be Phaneropsolus macacae (Premvati, 1958), n.comb.3. Phaneropsolus magnitesticulatus Ryšavý et al., 1960 is considered as a synonym of P. macacae (Premvati, 1958).4. Phaneropsolus orbicularis (Diesing, 1850) Braun, 1901 is reported from a new host and redescribed.
