Extract

The aspidogastrid trematodes form a well-defined group of at most eight genera with a wide distribution. They are known from five continents and they occur in various cold-blooded hosts from both marine and fresh-water habitats, notably, Gasteropod and Lamellibranch molluscs, the larger Crustacea, some Fishes, and Chelonians. The recording of a new genus in a fresh locality is thus of some zoological importance.
