During an inventory of parasites of anurans in Occidental Mexico, an apparently undescribed species of Halipegus was found under the tongue of Rana psilonota Webb, 2001. The objective of this study is to describe this new species. Halipegus psilonotae differs from all other congeners by the combination of the following characters: parasite under the tongue of frogs, body size small, ventral sucker representing 0.19-0.2 of body length, ovary smaller than testes, egg filament short (27.5-40).
在对墨西哥西部无尾两栖类寄生虫进行清查期间，在2001年发现的普氏林蛙（Rana psilonota Webb）的舌下发现了一种明显未被描述过的哈氏吸虫属（Halipegus）物种。本研究的目的是描述这个新物种。普氏哈氏吸虫（Halipegus psilonotae）与所有其他同属物种的区别在于以下特征的组合：寄生于蛙类的舌下，体型小，腹吸盘占体长的0.19 - 0.2，卵巢小于睾丸，卵丝短（27.5 - 40）。
