Description
Aplectana hylambatis (Baylis, 1927)
Hosts (prevalence; range): Dermatonotus muelleri (Boettger) (3/19; 16–553)*.
Site of infection: large intestine.
Stage: adult.
Type host and type locality: Leptopelis aubryi (Duméril), Guinea, Africa.
Comments: Aplectana hylambatis was redescribed by Baker (1980) in Rhinella achalensis (Cei) from Argentina. We identified these nematodes as A. hylambatis by the most evident characters which are the long and slender spicules with terminal hooks in males and a prominent vulva in females (see Aguiar et al. 2015). The first Brazilian anuran recorded as host of A. hylambatis was D. muelleri (Aguiar et al. 2015) and the first report of this nematode in D. muelleri was in Paraguay (Masi Pallares & Maciel 1974; Baker & Vaucher 1986). Since then, several anuran species from South America were recorded as hosts (see Campi„o et al. 2014), including the hylid T. typhonius from Pantanal Wetland, Brazil, which were added to the list of hosts (Campi„ o et al. 2016).
* This data has already published by Aguiar et al. (2015).
