Abstract: Examination of the surface topography of eighteen species of amphistomes from different vertebrate hosts (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, mammals) revealed three further new types of tegumental papillae. Different types of papillae can occur on the same species and their individual variability was demonstrated on the very same species. Taking the sources of errors into consideration, which impair such examinations, the results show that the tegumental papillae, combined with other characters, might be a useful set of traits in amphistome diagnosis.
Keywords: Scanning electron microscopy (Trematoda: Amphistomida), new papillae, taxonomic value
