Te morphology and morphometric data of the present specimens agreed well with the original description of + +P. nguyenthileae + +[ +1 +], including the size of the trunk, neck, lemnisci, proboscis receptacle and testis; the size and armature of the proboscis; the number and arrangement of cement glands (4 long and 4 clavate); and the size of eggs (See +Table 1 +for details). Furthermore, the present specimens and some of Amin et al.’s specimens were both collected from the same host + +B. melanostictus + +in a neighboring region of Southeast Asia [ +1 +]. Consequently, we considered that the present specimens belong to + +P. nguyenthileae + +. Te position of the genital pore of this species appears variable in both males and females from different hosts. Te present study also sequenced the partial +cox1 +, +cox2 +and 12S data of + +P. nguyenthileae + +for the first time, which displayed low level of intraspecific variation only in the partial +cox +1 (1.52%) regions between different individuals of + +P. nguyenthileae + +. Tese genetic data are very useful for molecular identification of this species in the future. Tis is the first report of this species in +China +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
