(= Spironoura Leidy, 1856 ; = Florencioia Travassos, 1920 ; = Dibulbiger Caballero, 1935 ; = Zanclophorus Baylis and Daubney, 1922 ; = Nematoxynema Skrjabin and Schikhobalova, 1951 ; = Velariocephalus Singh, 1958 )

Falcaustra mascula (Rudolphi, 1819) Freitas and Lent, 1941

(= Ascaris mascula Rudolphi, 1819 ; = Ascaris leptodactyla Parodi in Savazzini, 1930; = Florencioia mascula (Rudolphi, 1819) Travassos, 1919 ; = Florencioia nitida Travassos, 1919 ).

Host and record: Rhinella schneideri (Werner, 1894) (Co) , Leptodactylus latrans (Steffen, 1815) (= L. ocellatus ). Site of infection: Large intestine.

Material deposited: CECOAL 0 2052663 ( R. schneideri ).

References: Savazzini (1930), González & Hamann (2008).

Life cycle: The life cycle of this genus is unknown, but third-stage larvae have been found in snails and fishes, and it is also agreed that snails and fishes are paratenic hosts ( Bartlett & Anderson 1985; Moravec et al. 1995). The adults parasitize mainly turtles, less frequently amphibians and fish, and even one species of bird ( Baker 1987).

Falcaustra sanjuanensis González, Sanabria and Quiroga, 2013

Host and record: Odontophrynus cf. barrioi (Sj) , Lithobates catesbeianus (Shaw, 1802) (Sj) View in CoL . Site of infection: Large intestine.

Material deposited: MLP-He 6615(H), 6616(A), 6617(P) ( O. cf. barrioi ), CECOAL 12100501(P) ( O. cf. barrioi ), MLP-He 6705 ( L. catesbeianus ), CECOAL 13111102 ( L. catesbeianus ).
