Abstract

We described Creptotrema cambeve n. sp. from the intestine of the Brazilian catfish Cambeva davisi (Haseman, 1911) (= Trichomycterus davisi) based on integrative analyses using morphological and molecular approaches. Creptotrema cambeve n. sp. closely resembles morphologically Creptotrema paraense Vicente, Santos & Souza, 1978, which was described from a siluriform fish in Northern Brazil; however, the two species differ mainly in the oral and ventral sucker sizes and the distribution of the vitellaria. The phylogenetic analyses of the 28S rDNA placed the sequences of the new species in a monophyletic clade together with all other Creptotrema spp. and as sister taxon of Creptotrema cruste Alcantara, Ebert, Ferreira-Silva, Forti, Morais, Pérez-Ponce de León & Silva, 2024, a parasite from a Brazilian anuran. Genetic divergences between the new species and other Creptotrema spp. varied from 0.2% to 4.3%, further corroborating the distinction of the new taxon. Creptotrema cambeve n. sp. is the 18th nominal Creptotrema species known from South America and the 22nd erected in the genus. This is the first study reporting a trematode in Cambeva spp. hosts and the second parasitological survey carried out for Ca. davisi, a poorly known small endemic fish.
