“…The second morphotype, the Virgulate cercaria, is resolved within the Pleurogenidae as the sister taxa of L. macrocirra (= L. macrocirra ), with high nodal support. The report of this cercarial morphotype was recently published by Velázquez-Urrieta & Pérez Ponce de León (2020), who inferred the life cycle of L. macrocirra in Los Tuxtlas tropical rainforest. The molecular and morphological information was used to link the larval forms with the adult stage of the trematode, and the transmission pathway of the species was elucidated.…”

“…In total, 877 species of vertebrates have been reported, including 80 freshwater fishes, 44 amphibians, 118 reptiles, 507 birds and 128 mammals (González et al ., 1997; López, 2017). Of the 57 species of trematodes, only two cercariae have been morphologically and genetically characterized (Velázquez-Urrieta & Pérez-Ponce de León, 2020, 2021). Our study reported 16 species of trematodes, of which only four corresponded with adult forms previously reported in vertebrates of the area – namely, L. macrocirra , G. rosamondae , both in amphibians, C. formosanus and O. manteri in freshwater fishes.…”

“…The taxonomic history and species composition of the genus Langeronia has been controversial (Velazquez-Urrieta & Peréz-Ponce de León, 2020); in Mexican specimens that have been studied in detail, some morphological characters are quite variable, and it is possible that many of these are not reliable for species differentiation. For instance, specimens morphologically assigned to Langeronia cf.…”
