Remarks. The morphological characters of this material correspond with those presented in the original description of this equinostomid trematode (Dronen & Blend 2008). The presence of a bilobed head collar, bearing a total of 56 spines (28 spines per side) is a major character that distinguishes this species, as well as the position of the ovary and the position of anterior and posterior testes, with respect each other. Patagifer lamothei was originally reported as a parasite of the white ibis, Eudocimus albus in Galveston, Texas (Dronen & Blend 2008); its presence in the white of ibis in 5 localities from the Pacific Ocean slope and in other 3 localities of the Gulf of Mexico, extends the distribution area of this equinostomatid trematode.
