Distoma catervarium Looss, 1896, for which Yamaguti (1971) erected the genus Walliniella, from the intestine of Alosa fallax at Cairo, is superficially similar to P. ventricosa and comes from one of its normal hosts. These parasites were, according to Looss (1896), poorly preserved, and it is possible, therefore, that certain of the features were misinterpreted. The supposedly postovarian testes, however, preclude our adding this name to the synonymy of P. ventricosa.
