Abstract

Anenterotrema is a genus of digeneans lacking digestive systems and parasitic in Neotropical bats. We have found a new species of Anenterotrema in silky short-tailed bats (Carollia brevicauda) from Peru. The new Anenterotrema species can be readily differentiated from previously described congeners by a combination of morphological characters. It differs from its morphologically closest cogener, Anenterotrema mesolecitha, in having smaller eggs, a much larger cirrus sac, and in the position of ovary. This is the sixth species of this genus and first to be described from Peru and C. brevicauda.
