Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This study comprehensively update and expand the knowledge on diversity of helminth parasites in amphibians of Peru. Data were collected from extensively systematic research accross primary literature data bases. The collected information is clearly presented and analyzed. This is a most necessary work and deserves publication in DIVERSITY.

I would like to suggest the next few and very minor points with the aim to contribute to improve this already very good work:

Line 81, Acanthocephala are not longer considered a phylum. Hookworms are currently includen in Micrognathozoa-Rotifera.

Line 93, in such a case please provide Museum or Catalog numbers.

Fig. 1 I would suggest "Known or Current known richness..."

I would suggest authors to include cummulative species curves for published records, and recorded helminths species vs time (years) and so on.

Line 700 number yellow marked

I woud suggest to use taxa instead species as a general terminology, because several taxa are not identified until species level, for example Line 823 Centrorhynchus sp. line 830 Oncicola sp. line 837 Acanthocephala gen. sp.

Please separe the two parts of the list or best, make two list separated (Line 844 host-parasite list).

Please homogenize the order of references given in the current list; I mean compare line 639 vs lines 681 or 690 (however, the first is the logical good form).

Line 849 - aff in normal type please.

Fig. 2 - I would suggest to change "sampling" for "areas with records of..."
