Extract

1. A number of frogs (Petropedates natator) from a stream at Mount Aureol, Freetown, Sierra Leone were found to be infected with two species of trematodes in the intestine and one species of trematode in the lung.

2. One of the trematodes from the intestine is considered to be a new species and named Plenrogenoides peiropedatis and the trematode from the lung is considered to be a new subspecies and named Haematoloechus (Haematoloechus) variegatus leonensis.
