| Abstract | The relatively recent surge in Aspidodera species descriptions suggests that several species are yet to be documented
and properly described. We describe Aspidodera serrata n. sp. from the giant anteater Myrmecophaga tridactyla
from the Cerrado biome (Savanna), Brazil. The new species is distinctive in the genus because of the attributes of the cephalic
cordons, position of pore-like papillae and a thickening of body cuticle. Because no male specimens were recovered from
the host, morphological characteristics that are identical in both sexes and specific for the genus were fundamental during
the identification. We emphasize the relevance of hood features and scanning electron microscopy to base descriptions in
Aspidodera. We provide a new key for the genus to assist in the efforts to identify the species present in multiple infections.
This is the first report of a coinfection with 3 congeners in the same individual host involving Aspidodera.We urge researchers
to preserve and document the metazoan parasites from tetrapod species considered vulnerable, because they can be valuable
sources of information on the distribution of parasites in the wild. | pt_BR |
