Sperm characters in the Hemiuridae (Digenea): first data on Aphanurus stossichii (Aphanurinae) and Ectenurus lepidus (Dinurinae)

The present work provides the first ultrastructural analysis of spermatozoa of two digeneans (Aphanurus stossichii (Monticelli, 1891) and Ectenurus lepidus Looss, 1907) belonging to the unexplored subfamilies of the Hemiuridae, namely, the Aphanurinae and the Dinurinae. In March 2019, these hemiurid...
