Description

TABLE 7. Comparison of characters of species of Trematosoma after original descriptions and additional references. Unique characters marked in bold. Abbreviations: -, information about character not available; +, character present; [], information from additional reference(s).?, character appeared questionable or unclear in our interpretation; SEM, scanning electron microscopy.
