Monocotyle guttatae n. sp. is described from the gills of the ray Dasyatis guttata (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) (Dasyatidae) off the coast of Brazil The new species can be readily differentiated from the other species of the genus in having a male copulatory organ with 2 loops and an accessory piece, 5-7 sclerites on the marginal haptoral papillae, and the absence of accessory sclerites on the dorsal surface of the posterior body. The present record confirms the presence of the genus in the subtropical waters of South America.
斑点单殖吸虫新种（Monocotyle guttatae n. sp.）是从巴西海岸的斑点魟（Dasyatis guttata (布洛赫和施奈德，1801年)，魟科）的鳃上描述的。该新物种可通过以下特征与该属的其他物种轻易区分：具有一个带有2个环和一个附属片的雄性交配器官、边缘触须乳突上有5 - 7个小骨片，以及后体背面没有附属小骨片。本记录证实了该属在南美洲亚热带水域的存在。
