Turtle blood flukes ("spirorchiids") comprise a paraphyletic assemblage including the monophyletic Schistosomatidae Stiles and Hassall, 1898 as a crown group. We herein morphologically diagnose the natural groups of turtle blood flukes and propose family names for them. Spirorchiidae Stunkard, 1921 (Spirorchis MacCallum, 1919 [type]; Spirhapalum Ejsmont, 1927; Plasmiorchis Mehra, 1934; MonticelliusMehra, 1939; VasotremaStunkard, 1928; provisionally UterotremaPlatt and Pichelin, 1994) has a ventral sucker (lost in Spirorchis), an esophageal gland surrounding the entire esophagus, lateral esophageal diverticula (plicate organ and medial esophageal diverticulum present or absent), a glandular mass at the esophagus base, paired ceca surrounded by vitelline follicles for their entire length, a non-filamented, ovoid egg, and typically a Manter's organ. Baracktrematidae n. fam. (Baracktrema Roberts, Platt, and Bullard, 2016 [type]; Unicaecum Stunkard, 1925; NeospirorchisPrice, 1934) has no ventral sucker, a single cecum or cyclocoel, a coiled or looped testis extending into the anterior body half, a convoluted post-cecal and post-gonadal uterus, a uterine pouch, no metraterm, no Manter's organ, and non-filamented eggs. Plattidae n. fam. (Platt Roberts and Bullard, 2018 [type]; Hapalorhynchus Stunkard, 1922; Coeuritrema Mehra, 1933; Enterohaematotrema Mehra, 1940; CardiotremaDwivedi, 1967; Ruavermis Dutton and Bullard, 2020) has the anatomical sequence of a ventral sucker, external seminal vesicle, cirrus sac, anterior testis, ovary, transverse vitelline duct, and posterior testis (except Enterohaematotrema) plus a pars prostatica, dorsal genital pore, globular excretory vesicle, and no Manter's organ. Carettacolidae Yamaguti, 1958 (CarettacolaManter and Larson, 1950 [type]) has a spinose oral sucker, a spinose and contractile ventral sucker (transverse cavity present), numerous testes distributing in a post-ovarian, inter-cecal column, and an ovary and transverse vitelline duct that are pre-testicular. Hapalotrematidae (Stunkard, 1921) Poche, 1926 (Hapalotrema Loos, 1899 [type]; AmphiorchisPrice, 1934; LearediusPrice, 1934; Cheloneotrema Simha and Chattopadhyaya, 1980; NeocaballerotremaSimha, 1977; Satyanarayanotrema Simha and Chattopadhyaya, 1980; Shobanotrema Simha and Chattopadhyaya, 1980) has the anatomical sequence of a ventral sucker, anterior testis(es), external seminal vesicle and cirrus sac, ovary, and posterior testis(es). Atamatamidae n. fam. (Atamatam Bullard and Roberts, 2019 [type]; Paratamatam Bullard and Roberts, 2019; Pitiutrema Dutton and Bullard, 2019) has an oral sucker with anteroventral spines, vasa efferentia connecting to a pre-ovarian external seminal vesicle, a cirrus sac directed postero-laterad and having an internal seminal vesicle and glandular luminal wall, and a dendritic ovary flanked by the external seminal vesicle and oviducal seminal receptacle. A 28S phylogenetic analysis failed to reject the monophyly of these families.
龟血吸虫("旋尾目")包括一个并系类群,其中包括单系的盾盘科(Stiles and Hassall,1898 年)作为一个冠群。我们在这里从形态学上诊断了龟血吸虫的自然群体,并为它们提出了科名。旋尾科(Stunkard,1921 年)(旋口属 MacCallum,1919 年[模式属];旋棘口属 Ejsmont,1927 年;Plasmiorchis Mehra,1934 年;MonticelliusMehra,1939 年;VasotremaStunkard,1928 年;暂时的 UterotremaPlatt 和 Pichelin,1994 年)具有腹吸盘(在旋口属中丢失)、环绕整个食管的食管腺、侧食管憩室(有皱褶器官和内侧食管憩室存在或不存在)、食管基部的腺团、被卵黄滤泡包围的成对的盲囊、无纤毛的卵形卵和典型的 Manter 器官。巴拉克特雷米科(Baracktrematidae n. fam.)(Baracktrema Roberts、Platt 和 Bullard,2016 年[模式属];Unicaecum Stunkard,1925 年;NeospirorchisPrice,1934 年)没有腹吸盘,只有一个盲囊或环腔,一个卷曲或环曲的睾丸延伸到前体半部分,一个卷曲的盲囊后和性腺后子宫,一个子宫袋,没有中肠,没有 Manter 器官,和无纤毛的卵。普拉特科(Plattidae n. fam.)(Platt Roberts 和 Bullard,2018 年[模式属];Hapalorhynchus Stunkard,1922 年;Coeuritrema Mehra,1933 年;Enterohaematotrema Mehra,1940 年;CardiotremaDwivedi,1967 年;Ruavermis Dutton 和 Bullard,2020 年)具有腹吸盘、外部精囊、输精管囊、前睾丸、卵巢、横形卵黄管和后睾丸(除了 Enterohaematotrema)加上一个前列腺部分、背生殖器孔、球形排泄囊和没有 Manter 器官的解剖顺序。龟鳖科(Carettacolidae Yamaguti,1958 年)(CarettacolaManter 和 Larson,1950 年[模式属])具有刺状的口吸盘、刺状和可收缩的腹吸盘(存在横腔)、许多分布在后卵巢、盲囊柱之间的睾丸,以及位于睾丸之前的卵巢和横形卵黄管。旋尾科(Hapalotrematidae)(Stunkard,1921 年)Poche,1926 年(Hapalotrema Loos,1899 年[模式属];AmphiorchisPrice,1934 年;LearediusPrice,1934 年;Cheloneotrema Simha 和 Chattopadhyaya,1980 年;NeocaballerotremaSimha,1977 年;Satyanarayanotrema Simha 和 Chattopadhyaya,1980 年;Shobanotrema Simha 和 Chattopadhyaya,1980 年)具有腹吸盘、前睾丸(多个)、外部精囊和输精管囊、卵巢和后睾丸(多个)的解剖顺序。阿塔马塔米科(Atamatamidae n. fam.)(Atamatam Bullard 和 Roberts,2019 年[模式属];Paratamatam Bullard 和 Roberts,2019 年;Pitiutrema Dutton 和 Bullard,2019 年)具有具有前腹侧刺的口吸盘、与前卵巢外部精囊连接的出水管、指向后外侧并具有内部精囊和腺腔壁的输精管囊,以及被外部精囊和卵黄管生殖囊包围的树枝状卵巢。28S 系统发育分析未能拒绝这些科的单系性。
