Ariopelta capensis is the type species of the genus Ariopelta.
Distribution[edit]
Distribution of Ariopelta capensis includes South Africa.
Ecology[edit]
Ariopelta capensis serves as the second intermediate host for a parasite, the brachylaimid trematode Renylaima capensis.[1] Unencysted metacercariae, usually brevicaudate, infect the kidney of Ariopelta capensis and differ from mature cercariae by only a slightly greater size.[1]
