Cotylophoron macrosphinctris sp. n. (Trematoda: Paramphistomata) from the African buffalo, Bubalus (Syncerus) caffer Sparrman.
Cotylophoron macrosphinctris sp. n. was recorded from the rumen of the African buffalo, Bubalus (Syncerus) caffer, Sparrman in Central African Empire. The most characteristic feature of this species is the presence of a strong genital sphincter by which it is easily distinguished from the hitherto known species of the genus.
