Ityogonimus scalopi sp. N. (Trematoda: Brachylaemidae) from the eastern mole, Scalopus aquaticus (Linnaeus 1758).
Ityogonimus scalopi is described from the intestines of three of seven moles, Scalopus aquaticus, trapped in the vicinity of Ridgeland, South Carolina. Unlike other members of the genus, this species occurs in North America rather than Europe. Ityogonimus scalopi resembles other species of the genus, but differs in sucker ratio, character of the seminal vesicle, and absence of a prominent genital eminence.
