Gorgoderina simplex

Description

Gorgoderina simplex (Looss, 1899)

Site of infection: urinary bladder.

Recruitment: ingestion.

Distribution: Canada: New Brunswick (McAlpine 1997; McAlpine & Burt 1998a; NBM); Ontario (Stafford 1903; Cort 1912; CMNPA; USNPC). USA: Michigan (Najarian 1955); Nebraska (Brooks 1976; Brooks et al. 2006a); undetermined locality (Bensley 1897).

Specimens in collections: CMNPA: 1900-1607, 1900-1617b. HWML: 20117, 20120. NBM: 784, 785, 788, 789, 790, 1395, 1396, 1486. USNPC 50315, 51645.

Remarks: This species was originally named Gorgodera simplex (Looss 1899 a, 1899b) based on Canadian specimens and transferred to Gorgoderina by Looss (1905) who established it as the type species of the genus. Material identified by Bensley (1897) as Distoma cygnoides var. B was proposed as synonym of G. simplex by Looss (1905). Pande (1937) and Kaw (1950) considered this species as member of the genus Phyllodistomum.
