| Abstract: | The systematics of tapeworms in the genus Spirometra has been progressing with the accumulation of molecular genetics data, but the taxonomic status of many nominal species remains under debate. We report morphological and molecular-phylogenetic data for a Spirometra species collected from a domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) in Chiloé Island, Chile. The Spirometra species was shown to be genetically conspecific with Spirometra decipiens complex 1 found in a Pampas fox (Lycalopex gymnocercus) from Argentina, and was closely related to a Hoary fox (Lycalopex vetulus) and rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus) from Brazil. Therefore, the presence of S. decipiens complex 1 was molecularly confirmed for the first time in Chile. The findings of the present study add useful information for the systematics of poorly known Spirometra species in South America. |
