Abstract

Bufonerakis andersoni n. gen. n. sp. from Bufo arenarum of Argentina is described. Bufonerakis is proposed for species in the Subfamily Meteterakinae with a short muscular vagina and opposed uteri. The other genera in the subfamily, Meteterakis Karve, 1930, and Gireterakis Lane, 1917, have an elongate vagina divided into a short muscular portion and long common uterine trunk giving rise to two parallel uteri in the posterior third of the worm. Meteterakis rodriguesi Vicente and Corrêa Gomes, 1971, is reclassified as Bufonerakis rodriguesi n. comb.
