Hypocreadium patellare
Yamaguti, 1938
We have found three morphological
types
of
Hypocreadium
which apparently represent varieties of
H. patellare
or a group of similar species. We here describe each
type
separately, but have refrained from erecting new taxa as the differences are slight, inconsistent or fall within the variation found in specimens from the type-host and locality as described by
Machida & Kuramochi (1999)
.
