discussion
Comments. The morphological characters observed in the specimens agree with the original description given by Rêgo (1967), especially regarding the shape and length of hooks in the rostellum. However, some differences were noticed as for the length and width of scolex, length of rostellum, diameter of suckers, length of cirrus pouch and diameter of eggs. These morphometric differences can be attributed to a greater number of specimens studied.
