E1C5271329EB5D3AA373FDBE10A9C88E.taxon	description	Description. Based on 7 whole mounted specimens and 2 SEM prepared specimens. Body elongate, slender, tapering posteriorly and markedly enlarged in anterior fifth of body, 12.78 – 14.56 (13.75; n = 7) mm long, 1.07 – 1.40 (1.11; n = 8) mm wide at level of ventral sucker. Length / width ratio 10.40 – 12.53 (11.40): 1. Tegument spined (Figs 1, 5); spines almost imbricated, with central groove and curved distal tip (Figs 10 – 11), 16 – 19 (17; n = 2) long, directed posteriorly. Numerous small button-like papillae irregularly distributed on the dorsal edge of the oral sucker region (Figs 5). Forebody 11.56 – 16.22 (14.55; n = 6) mm long, occupying 9.1 – 12.6 % (11.1 %; n = 6) of body length. Oral sucker subterminal, muscular, 640 – 787 (719; n = 7) long, 760 – 998 (829; n = 7) mm wide, 4.7 – 5.1 % (4.9 %; n = 6) of body length, 66.4 – 71.3 % (69.4 %; n = 7) of maximum body width, substantially larger than ventral sucker (Figs 1, 5, 7). Prepharynx short. Pharynx subspherical, muscular, surrounded by numerous gland cells densely grouped (Fig. 1), 280 – 465 (333; n = 7) long, 320 – 449 (381; n = 7) wide. Esophagus short. Intestinal bifurcation in midforebody, 1.07 – 1.32 (1.12; n = 7) mm from anterior end. Intestinal ceca slightly sinuous anteriorly or not, of unequal length, terminate at posterior region of body (Fig. 1). Ventral sucker ovate, 600 – 723 (655; n = 7) long, 590 – 770 (662; n = 7) wide, in anterior third of body, 4.8 – 5.7 % (4.9 %; n = 7) of body length, 52.1 – 60.1 % (55.4 %; n = 7) of maximum body width. Oral sucker width to ventral sucker width ratio 1.19 – 1.32 (1.26): 1. Testes entire, distinctly ovate, tandem, sometimes oblique, in middle third of body (Fig. 1); anterior testis 600 – 900 (746; n = 6) long, 380 – 510 (436; n = 6) wide, posterior testis 660 – 854 (743; n = 5) long, 420 – 501 (474; n = 5) wide; distance between testes 1.32 – 1.88 (1.56; n = 6) mm long, occupying 9.3 – 13.7 % (11.9 %; n = 6) of body length; post-testicular region 3.22 – 5.96 (5.11; n = 6) mm long, occupying 27.6 – 44.2 % (38.5 %; n = 6) of body length. Cirrus sac oblong (Fig. 2), 1.630 – 2.041 (1.809; n = 7) mm long, 240 – 333 (270; n = 7) wide, situated longitudinally between anterior margin of ventral sucker and at 190 – 460 (304; n = 5) from anterior margin of ovary; contains tubular, coiled seminal vesicle and unarmed cirrus; cirrus muscular with papillated internal surface (Figs 8 – 9). Prostatic cells fill available space outside seminal vesicle and ejaculatory duct (Fig. 2). Genital pore immediately anterosinistral to ventral sucker (Figs 1, 2, 5). Ovary rounded, entire, submedian, 430 – 500 (456; n = 7) long, 370 – 457 (400; n = 7) wide; distance between ovary and anterior testis 1.03 – 1.81 (1.33; n = 7) mm long, occupying 7.8 – 12.8 % (10.1 %; n = 7) of body length. Seminal receptacle almost reniform (Figs 1, 3), post-ovarian, 105 – 212 (174; n = 7) long, 99 – 215 (140; n = 7) wide. Laurer’s canal not observed. Vitellaria in form of numerous bunch-like clusters of small follicles, intercecal, cecal and extracecal, extending from post-ovarian zone to near end of ceca (Fig. 1). Uterus intra- and extracecal, passes between testes and occupies most of post-ovarian part of hindbody (Fig. 1). Egg small, ovoid, operculated, thin shelled (Fig. 4), 24 – 30 (26; n = 7) long, 13 – 17 (15; n = 7) wide. Excretory vesicle not observed. Excretory pore terminal, at middle line of posterior end of body (Fig. 12).	en	Huancachoque, Eva, Sáez, Gloria, Cruces, Celso Luis, Mendoza, Carlos, Luque, José Luis, Chero, Jhon Darly (2020): Glossidiella peruensis sp. nov., a new digenean (Plagiorchiida: Plagiorchiidae) from the lung of the brown ground snake Atractus major (Serpentes: Dipsadidae) from Peru.
