Choanocotyle hobbsi n. sp. and Choanocotyle juesuei n. sp. are described from the small intestine of the oblong turtle Chelodina oblonga from the vicinity of Perth, Western Australia. These are the third and fourth species referred to Choanocotyle. Choanocotyle hobbsi is most similar to Choanocotyle nematoides but differs in the size and shape of the oral sucker and the absence of a median loop in the cirrus sac. Choanocotyle juesuei is most similar to Choanocotyle elegans but differs in the size of the oral sucker and other morphometric criteria. Comparative analysis of the sequences of different nuclear ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid regions of C. nematoides and C. hobbsi has confirmed that they are closely related but distinct species.
霍布斯氏碟盘吸虫新种(Choanocotyle hobbsi n. sp.)和朱苏伊氏碟盘吸虫新种(Choanocotyle juesuei n. sp.)是从西澳大利亚珀斯附近的长椭圆形龟(Chelodina oblonga)的小肠中描述的。这是归入碟盘吸虫属的第三和第四个物种。霍布斯氏碟盘吸虫与线虫状碟盘吸虫(Choanocotyle nematoides)最为相似,但在口吸盘的大小和形状以及阴茎囊无中间袢方面有所不同。朱苏伊氏碟盘吸虫与秀丽碟盘吸虫(Choanocotyle elegans)最为相似,但在口吸盘大小和其他形态测量标准方面有所不同。对线虫状碟盘吸虫和霍布斯氏碟盘吸虫不同核糖体脱氧核糖核酸区域序列的比较分析证实,它们是密切相关但不同的物种。
