The surface tegument of G. tigrinum generally resembles that described for other digeneans. It contains surface tubercles and is covered with a glycocalyx. In the anterior region the tegument bears spines while tubular-like canals and occasional deep invaginations are present on the anteroventral surface. Two types of secretory body are present in the tegumental syncytium and produced in separate tegumental cells. Mitochondria are present in the surface syncytium, suggesting active transport occurs across the tegument in non-hibernating frogs.
虎纹蛙的体表皮层通常与其他复殖吸虫所描述的相似。它含有体表瘤，并覆盖有糖萼。在前部区域，皮层有刺，而在前腹面有管状样管道和偶尔的深陷。皮层合胞体中有两种类型的分泌体，由不同的皮层细胞产生。线粒体存在于表面合胞体中，表明在非冬眠青蛙中，主动运输发生在整个皮层。
