Zungaro zungaro (= Paulicea luetkeni ) Infection site. Anterior intestine. Type locality. Brazil, Parana State, reservoir of Itaipu. Holotype. CHIOC 32184. Paratype. CHIOC 32183. Remarks. CHIOC 32183 was indicated as a paratype in the cataloguing data of CHIOC, but not in the original description. After reviewing the information and slides of M. brooksi , we concluded that the specimen is a paratype. Collection numbers are referred to as "29183" and "29184" in the original description due to a mistake. Megathylacus brooksi is considered conspecific with M. jandia Woodland, 1934 by de Chambrier et al. (2014) , but is considered a valid name in the Global Cestode Database (2016) . References.
