Polystome Species of Amphibians

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polystomatid Flatworms

Part of the book series: Zoological Monographs ((ZM,volume 9))

  • 56 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter brings together all known polystomes of amphibians, namely 135 spp. from all three extant orders Anura (frogs and toads), Urodela (salamanders) and Apoda (caecilians). For each of the species, we provide information on type material, reference to the description, etymology, type locality, host identity, geographical distribution, site of infection, morphometrics and a species drawing based on the original description.
