Helmintos de la República de Costa Rica XI: Sobre la validez del género <i>Langeronia</i> Caballero y Bravo, 1949 (Trematoda : Lecithodendriidae) y hallazgo de <i>Ochetosoma miladelarocai</i> Caballero y Vogelsang, 1947

Abstract

The validity of the genus Langeronia Caballero & Bravo (8) is upheld, in opposition to YAMAGUTI'S (17) opinion that it is a synonym of Loxogenes Stafford, 1905. The species accordingly recognized as belonging to either genus are listed. Langeronia macrocirra Caballero & Bravo, 1949 and Ochetosoma mi­ladelarocai Caballero & Vogelsang, 1947 are redescribed from new host collected in Costa Rica, thereby establishing range extensions for both species.
