Abstract: The taxon Amphistomida contains a monophyletic group of digenetic trematodes, parasitic in all higher vertebrate taxa. The posteriorly located ventral sucker, both in adult and in larval stage, and the epidermal cell formula of the miracidium are the main in-group character states of the taxa. The taxonomic position of the monostome groups of trematodes, assigned to amphistomes by previous authors, is analyzed. The outline of a new scope of amphistomes is formularized and a new classification scheme is proposed. Caballerodiscus gen. n. is described.
Keywords: Amphistomida, scope and phyletic relationship, proposed systematics, Caballerodiscus gen. n.
