Abstract
    Adult digeneans of Maritrema afanassjewi Belopol'skaya, 1952 parasitize birds and mammals along the North Pacific coasts and were previously studied in terms of morphology. However, morphological features not supported by molecular characterization are considered an insufficient tool for the identification of evolutionary lineages of microphallid digeneans. Here we provide the first data on the phylogenetic position of this species inferred from sequences of the 28S rRNA gene and the ITS2 locus of the nuclear DNA, as well as additional morphometric data. The trematodes were isolated from the intestine of the Ussuri brown bear (Ursus arctos lasiotus Gray, 1867) on Iturup Island (the southern Kuril Islands). This is the second record of M. afanassjewi in the brown bear. The phylogeny based on the 28S rRNA gene was poorly resolved for this parasite species. The analyses based on the ITS2 locus dataset showed that M. afanassjewi was a low-supported sister to Maritrema subdolum Jägerskiöld, 1909.
