Nota sobre el Tremátodo <i>Controrchis caballeroi</i> Jiménez y Brenes, 1957

Abstract

The trematode Controrchis caballeroi Jiménez & Brenes, 1957, is found upon comparison with Price's original mounts, to be a synonym of Controrchis biliophilus Price, 1928. Reports received from Canal Zone and from Mexico, of trematodes found in the liver of Alouatta palliata palliata and of A. palliatta pigra respectively, as well as those found in histological sections of the liver in specimens of the former, during the jungle yellow fever outbreak of 1951, probably all correspond to this same species of Controrchis which in all likelihood parasites horoling monkeys throughout Central America and southern Mexico.
