220 COMPARATIVE PARASITOLOGY, <strong>68</strong>(2), JULY <strong>2001</strong> ville, Maryland, U.S.A., and the Harold W. Manter Laboratory (HWML) of the University of Nebraska <strong>State</strong> Museum, Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A. Description Results Ommatobrephidae Poche, 1926 Singhiatrema vietnamensis sp. n. (Figs. 1 and 2) Based on 5 specimens: Ommatobrephinae Poche, 1926. Body pyriform, elongate, 2.56 mm (2.41-2.61 mm) long, 0.76 mm (0.76-0.91 mm) wide at maximum width near posterior end of body, lacking tegumental spines but possessing minute interrupted longitudinal striae. Oral sucker with subterminal mouth, 170 (170—207) long, 189 (189-217) wide. Head crown having single row of 22—23 spines 31—56 long, arranged 11— 12 per side; row interrupted dorsally and ventrally. Prepharynx short, less than % length of pharynx; pharynx oval, 95 (95-106) long, 78 (78-106) wide. Esophagus 640 (547-640) long, 89 (80—105) wide. Ceca extending beyond posterior extent of testes. Acetabulum 290 (285- 329) long, 379 (363-407) wide, lying between anterior % and anterior J/2 of body. Ratio of widths of oral sucker to acetabulum 1:1.8-2.0. Testes 2, weakly (incompletely) lobed, lying opposite, located near terminal end of body, with anterior margins diverging from each other; left testis 292 (285-340) long, 217 (200=234) wide; right testis 279 (251-335) long, 234 (195-234) wide. Cirrus sac oval, 179 (179-227) long, 102 (102—110) wide, medial, lying between cecal bifurcation and acetabulum, containing large bipartite seminal vesicle, short pars prostatica, and short muscular ejaculatory duct; pars prostatica a short duct surrounded by prostatic cells at anterior of sac; external seminal vesicle lacking. Ovary pretesticular, spherical, 73 (73-95) in diameter, slightly dextral in 4 of 5 specimens, slightly sinistral in 1 specimen. Oviduct communicating with Laurer's canal, then forming ootype; Laurer's canal straight, directed dorsally from region of ootype, opening on dorsal surface at level of ovary; ootype surrounded by Mehlis' gland; Mehlis' gland compact, usually larger than ovary, consisting of relatively small cells; ootype receiving relatively long common vitelline duct from vitelline reservoir, communicating with uterus; uterus intercecal, postacetabular, with proximal portion a uterine seminal Copyright © 2011, The Helminthological Society of Washington receptacle and with distal portion a metraterm; metraterm thick walled, approximately length of cirrus sac, sinistral to cirrus sac, entering genital atrium anteriorly; genital atrium relatively small, ventral to anterior portion of cirrus sac in heatkilled specimens (directed anteriorly in coldkilled specimens when fixed under pressure with cirrus sac displaced anteriorly); genital pore opening medially or submedially near anterior region of cirrus sac in heat-killed specimens (near anterior acetabular margin in contracted specimens). Vitellarium consisting of 2 lateral bands of irregularly shaped follicles; bands lying ventral to ceca between posterior level of acetabulum and middle of testes, communicating to vitelline reservoir by left and right transverse main collecting channel; left channel about 195 long, right channel about 223-280 long; vitelline reservoir approximately 45—56 long, 111-195 wide. Eggs 95-117 long, 61-75 wide, with thickened knob at posterior end, with eyespots visible in miracidia of some specimens; eyespots 2, lightly pigmented in developing miracidia, darkly pigmented and fused in developed miracidia. Excretory vesicle Y-shaped, with triangular posterior bladder; main stem slender, medial, concealed by overlapping lobes of testes, extending anteriorly from bladder and bifurcating at anterior margins of testes; arms reaching anteriorly to approximate level just posterior to pharynx; excretory pore subterminal, opening on dorsal surface. Taxonomic summary TYPE HOST: Enhydris chinensis (Gray, 1842), rear-fanged water snake or Chinese water snake (Colubridae). Other host: Enhydris plumbea (Boie, 1827), rear-fanged water snake, rice paddy snake, or plumbeous water snake (Colubridae). TYPE LOCALITY: Ha Noi Province, Vietnam. Other localities: throughout Red River Delta, Vietnam, in Nam Ha, Thai Binh, Nam Ha, Nam Dinh, Hai Duong, and Hai Phong provinces. INFECTION SITE: Small intestine. PREVALENCE AND INTENSITY OF INFECTION: Ten of 43 specimens of E. chinensis (23%) each hosted 1-5 individual worms; 9 of 51 specimens of E. plumbea (18%) each hosted 1—3 worms. SPECIMENS DEPOSITED: Holotype USNPC No. 90037; paratypes USNPC No. 90038, HWML Nos. 15388 (E. chinensis), 15389 (E. plumbea).
