Article Synopsis
- New records of the family Macrovalvitrematidae, including new species Buccamagna archosarga and Pseudotagia pomadasys found in Puerto Rico, emphasize the diversity of these parasites in local fish.
- Buccamagna archosarga is characterized by large oral suckers and specialized clamp structures, while Pseudotagia pomadasys is notable for its distinct clamp size configurations.
- This study proposes the synonymy of certain genera under Macrovalvitrema, stressing the importance of clamp morphology for classifying these monogenean parasites.
