Lobosorchis Miller & Cribb, 2005

Type-species: L. tibaldiae Miller & Cribb, 2005 .

Diagnosis: Body oval; length/width ratio c. 1.4–1.9. Tegument armed with small to minute spines. Oral sucker distinctly wider than long, with enlarged oral spines, opens nearly terminally. Ventral sucker unspecialised, embedded in ventrogenital sac. Ratio oral/ventral sucker width c. 2.5–3. Forebody occupies c. 30–40% of body length. Prepharynx short. Pharynx wider than ventral sucker. Oesophagus short. Intestinal bifurcation between ventral sucker and pharynx. Caeca blind, terminate close to posterior end of body. Testes multiple, in two symmetrical groups of 4–5 or more per group, total number of testes 9–25, in mid-hindbody. Seminal vesicle tubulosaccular, between ovary and ventral sucker. Common genital pore immediately anterior to ventral sucker. Gonotyl a small lobe arising from anterior wall of ventrogenital sac. Ovary deeply lobed, ventral to or immediately anterior and adjacent to testes. Laurer's canal present. Seminal receptacle saccular, dextral or sinistral to seminal vesicle, between ovary and ventral sucker. Vitelline follicles confined almost entirely to forebody, confluent dorsally, extend from slightly posterior to ventral sucker to near posterior margin of oral sucker. Uterine coils restricted to hindbody, extend from posterior end of body to ventral sucker. Excretory vesicle Y-shaped; arms reach pharynx.

It is to be treated as masculine.
