Abstract

This report is the third in a series by the authors on the digenetic trematodes of marine fishes from Ghana, and was supported in part by a State University of New York Faculty Research Fellowship (FRF 68–40–003) awarded to the senior author. Specimens have been deposited in the U.S. National Museum Helminthological Collection as indicated. All measurements are in microns.
