Maritrema formicae sp. nov. is described from the Patagonian coast, Argentina, based on adults obtained from the kelp gull, Larus dominicanus. The new species fits with the "eroliae complex" and can be distinguished from other related species mainly in shape and size of body, shape, size, and pattern of distribution of cirrus spines, uterus extension, number and size of eggs, vitellarium in a complete ring in all specimens, and its Neotropical distribution. The new species is sympatric with another species of the genus, Maritrema madrynense, which was recorded in the same host and locality.
新物种阿根廷海栖吸虫(Maritrema formicae sp. nov.)是根据从阿根廷巴塔哥尼亚海岸的多米尼加鸥(Larus dominicanus)体内获取的成虫进行描述的。该新物种符合“艾氏吸虫复合体”,主要可通过身体形状和大小、阴茎棘的形状、大小和分布模式、子宫延伸情况、卵的数量和大小、所有标本中卵黄腺呈完整环状以及其新热带分布,与其他相关物种区分开来。该新物种与同属的另一个物种马德林海栖吸虫(Maritrema madrynense)同域分布,后者在相同宿主和地点被记录到。
