A new species in the little-known digenean fauna of Paraguayan birds is described in detail, especially in relation to its terminal genitalia. The new form, Megalophallus deblocki n. sp., is a microphallid from the intestine of the snail kite Rostrhamus sociabilis (Vieillot). It is differentiated in detail from its congeners, but differs mainly in having a substantially larger phallus (e.g. in relation to the ventral sucker), a smaller ventral sucker and smaller eggs. Comments are included on the functional morphology of the terminal genitalia.
详细描述了巴拉圭鸟类鲜为人知的复殖吸虫动物群中的一个新物种，特别是关于其末端生殖器。新物种，德氏巨阴茎吸虫（Megalophallus deblocki n. sp.），是一种来自蜗牛鸢（Rostrhamus sociabilis (Vieillot)）肠道的微阴茎科吸虫。它与同属物种有详细的区别，但主要区别在于其阴茎明显更大（例如相对于腹吸盘）、腹吸盘更小且卵更小。文中还对末端生殖器的功能形态进行了评论。
