7B2E87D9FFB20C6AFFD10317FD26F898.taxon	etymology	The main morphological characters of the metacercariae were (min-max (mean ± SD) µm): body stout, slightly wider in gonadic region; 9500 – 15200 (12061 ± 1820) long, 1855 – 3967 (3075 ± 591.9) wide. Oral sucker, 410 – 533 (460.4 ± 35.03) long · 478 – 732 (576.1 ± 83.07) wide, smaller than acetabulum, 926 – 1253 (1094 ± 89.86) long · 1011 – 1346 (1193.3 ± 105.22) wide, surrounded by weakly developed oral collar. Pharynx evident; intestine bifurcates immediately posterior to pharynx. Intestinal caeca run laterally to ventral sucker and immature genital complex, with small diverticula more evident posteriorly to ventral sucker. Connection between intestinal caeca and excretory system not clearly visible. Testes arranged in tandem between middle and posterior third of body. Anterior testis, 677 – 1466 (1074.2 ± 255.29) long · 643 – 1469 (1063.7 ± 266.98) wide, in posterior part of middle third of body, fan-shaped, consists of four to eight blunt lobes, some of which are sub-lobed; sometimes, right lobe slightly displaced to left by uterus. Posterior testis, 606 – 1182 (957.2 ± 211.70) long · 695 – 1469 (1072 ± 195.71) wide, in anterior part of posterior third of body, fan-shaped with anterior margin concave and with two major lateral lobes and one posterior lobe, each of which is sub-lobed. Cirrus sac 389 – 717 (563.5 ± 117.67) long · 143 – 292 (253.2 ± 44.25) wide, bean-shaped, in dextral intertesticular space, anterior to ovary, with genital pore opening laterally at posterior margin of anterior testis between right and posterior lobe. Genital opening with evident small blunt tubercles along its internal edge. Ovary, 119 – 378 (278.7 ± 74.07) long · 121 – 363 (261.9 ± 69.85) wide, irregular, round, smaller than cirrus sac, located in dextral intertesticular space. Uterus runs straight from ventral sucker to anterior testis. Uteroduct runs around left margin of anterior testis and opens into uterine sac. Metraterm, straight and overlapping the right half of anterior testis, connects uterus to genital atrium. Vitellarium not evident. Tegumental surface covered by very thin papillae.	en	Caffara, Monica, Davidovich, Nadav, Falk, Rama, Smirnov, Margarita, Ofek, Tamir, Cummings, David, Gustinelli, Andrea, Fioravanti, Maria L.

7B2E87D9FFB20C6AFFD10317FD26F898.taxon	description	The ML trees, utilizing both molecular markers, display the same topology (ITS tree not reported) and show two clearly separate clades, one formed by the Palearctic species, C. complanatum, that clusters as a sister species to C. phalacrocoracis + C. cutaneum, and the other by C. marginatum and C. tataxumui, the Nearctic and Neotropical species, respectively (Fig. 4). All sequences obtained during this study are deposited in GenBank under the accession numbers KJ 786967 - KJ 786974 (COI) and KJ 786975 - KJ 7869882 (ITS).	en	Caffara, Monica, Davidovich, Nadav, Falk, Rama, Smirnov, Margarita, Ofek, Tamir, Cummings, David, Gustinelli, Andrea, Fioravanti, Maria L.
