Remarks.
Originally described as
Monostoma vanelli
Rudolphi, 1819
, this species was redescribed by
Bashkirova (1950)
, who considered it to be in
Uvitellina
. We support the synonomies of both
U
.
keri
and
U
.
tageri
with
U
.
vanelli
as proposed by
Dubois (1965)
because both are virtually identical to this species. In addition to measurements, these two species are like
U
.
vanelli
by having the uterine loops overreaching the ceca laterally, the posterior-most uterine loops terminating anterior to the anterior testis and they are all from species of the same genus of charadriiform birds;
U
.
tageri
being from the same host species. No oral or ventral sucker described—
