(Members of this genus have a postpharyngeal genital pore and the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly) ( Tables 3–7 )

Diagnosis. Cyclocoelidae ; Cyclocoelinae. Body lanceolate to linguiform, often tapered anteriorly. Rudimentary oral sucker present or absent; rudimentary ventral sucker generally absent. Genital pore postpharyngeal. Ovary intertesticular to nearly opposite posterior testis forming triangle with oblique testes near posterior arch of cyclocoel. Uterine loops commonly extensively overreaching ceca laterally, often reaching lateral margins of body, not generally invading posttesticular space, intercecal in some species. Vitelline fields not confluent posteriorly. Parasites of body cavity, lungs and air sacs of primarily scolopacid birds.
