Aplectana tarija Ramallo, Bursey and Goldberg, 2007 Host and record: Rhinella arenarum (Hensel, 1867) (= C. arenarum) (Sa). Site of infection: Large intestine.

Material deposited: CH-FML 07442-A(H), 07442-B(A), 07442-C(P). References: Ramallo et al. (2007b).

Aplectana fusiforme Savazzini, 1928 (species inquirenda) Host and record: Leptodactylus latrans (Steffen, 1815) (= L. ocellatus). Site of infection: Intestine.

Material deposited: Not specified.

References: Savazzini (1928).

Notes: Baker (1980a) considered that the description of this species was inadequate; the presence of a paired row of large preanal papillae possibly corresponds to the plectanes typical of Cosmocerca. This author considered this species as species inquirenda.
