The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. [1]
Species: [1]
Digenea is a class of trematodes in the Platyhelminthes phylum, consisting of parasitic flatworms with a syncytial tegument and, usually, two suckers, one ventral and one oral. Adults commonly live within the digestive tract, but occur throughout the organ systems of all classes of vertebrates. Once thought to be related to the Monogenea, it is now recognised that they are closest to the Aspidogastrea and that the Monogenea are more closely allied with the Cestoda. Around 6,000 species have been described to date.
The Terebellidae is a marine family of polychaete worms, of which the type taxon is Terebella, described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1767 12th edition of Systema Naturae.
Amerila is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. A number of species in this genus have a special defence mechanism when they are in their adult stage. When disturbed, they exude a frothy yellow fluid from glands beside the eyes, while making a sizzling noise to ward off their attacker. Similar behaviour has been observed in fertilised females of the North-American moth Utetheisa ornatrix.
Plagiorchiida is a large order of trematodes, synonymous to Echinostomida. They belong to the Digenea, a large subclass of flukes. This order contains relatively few significant parasites of humans.
Echinostomata is a suborder of the parasitic flatworm order Plagiorchiida. The suborder contains numerous species that are parasitic in humans.
Opisthorchiidae is a family of digenean trematodes. Opisthorchiidae have cosmopolitan distribution.
Opisthorchiata is a suborder of flatworms in the subclass Digenea.
Haploporidae is a family of trematodes in the order Plagiorchiida.
Telorchiidae is a family of trematode parasites.
Heterophyes is a genus of trematodes, or fluke worms, in the family Heterophyidae.

Echinochasmus is a genus of trematodes in the family Echinochasmidae.
Xiphidiata is a suborder of Plagiorchiida, an order of parasitic flatworms (flukes).
Allocreadium is a genus of Trematoda belonging to the family Allocreadiidae.
