Although they exhibit few morphological autapomorphies and are highly variable, the numerous suggested re-classifications within the family have never been supported by any molecular analyses. We address the possible synonymization of species within the<jats:italic>Renicola pinguis<\/jats:italic>complex suggested previously by Odening. We provide and analyse sequences of two nuclear (ITS2, 28S rDNA) and two mitochondrial (CO1, ND1) DNA loci of central European species of the Renicolidae, namely<jats:italic>Renicola lari, Renicola pinguis<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>Renicola sternae<\/jats:italic>sp. n., and we also provide first sequences of<jats:italic>Renicola sloanei<\/jats:italic>. The combined molecular and comparative morphological analysis confirms the previously questioned validity of the three<jats:italic>Renicola<\/jats:italic>spp. of highly similar morphology, which display strict niche separation in terms of host specificity and selectivity. We identify two previously unreported clades within the genus<jats:italic>Renicola<\/jats:italic>; however, only one of them is supported by the analysis of adult worms. We also provide comparative measurements of the three examined closely related central European renicolids, and describe the newly proposed tern-specialized species<jats:italic>Renicola sternae<\/jats:italic>sp. n., which was previously repeatedly misidentified as<jats:italic>Renicola paraquinta<\/jats:italic>. Based on the extensive dataset collected in 1962\u20132015, we update the host spectrum of Renicolidae parasitizing central European birds (<jats:italic>Renicola bretensis, R. lari, Renicola mediovitellata, R. pinguis, Renicola secunda<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>R. sternae<\/jats:italic>sp. n.) and discuss their host-specific prevalence and intensity of infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182016000895","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,30]],"date-time":"2016-06-30T10:27:57Z","timestamp":1467282477000},"page":"1592-1604","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Central European parasitic flatworms of the family Renicolidae Dollfus, 1939 (Trematoda: Plagiorchiida): molecular and comparative morphological analysis rejects the synonymization of<i>Renicola pinguis<\/i>complex suggested by Odening"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"143","author":[{"given":"PETR","family":"HENEBERG","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JILJ\u00cd","family":"SITKO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JI\u0158\u00cd","family":"BIZOS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ELIZABETH C.","family":"HORNE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7589\/0090-3558-46.3.832"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref51","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1539314"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref14","first-page":"78","article-title":"Trematodes of birds of the family Laridae from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast","volume":"49","author":"Kostadinova","year":"1997","journal-title":"Acta Zoologica Bulgarica"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref13","volume-title":"Trematodes and Trematode Communities in Fish-Eating Birds from the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast","author":"Kostadinova","year":"1993"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref50","volume-title":"The Metazoan Parasite Fauna of Loons (Aves: Gaviiformes), its Relationship to the Bird's Evolutionary History and Biology, and a Comparison with the Parasitefauna of Grebes","author":"Storer","year":"2002"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3226911"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref20","first-page":"127","article-title":"[On the helminth fauna of grebes in Eastern Slovakia]","volume":"6","author":"Macko","year":"1959","journal-title":"\u010ceskoslovensk\u00e1 parasitologie"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-015-4436-9"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref26","first-page":"426","article-title":"[Diversity of helminth fauna in the herring gull (Larus argentatus) from the Baikal Lake: peculiarities of spatial distribution and invasion]","volume":"33","author":"Nekrasov","year":"1999","journal-title":"Parazitologiya"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref22","first-page":"47","article-title":"[Trematodes of the Caspian tern (Hydroprogne tschegrava)]","volume":"1","author":"Macko","year":"1964","journal-title":"Studia Helminthologica"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0001-706X(97)00093-4"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0014-4894(57)90025-5"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref12","first-page":"6","article-title":"A review of the history and classification of the family Renicolidae Dollfus, 1939 (Trematoda: Digenea)","volume":"3","author":"Kharoo","year":"2013","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Fundamental and Applied Life Sciences"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-014-3903-z"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7589\/0090-3558-20.4.350"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parint.2014.07.012"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref45","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parint.2015.05.012"},{"key":"S0031182016000895_ref7","unstructured":"Gibson D.
