Extract

The metacercariae of Euclinostomum helerostomum (Rud., 1809) from Tilapia zilli and T. heudeloti and immature adults recovered from the oesophagus of the African darter and the long-tailed shag, three days eighteen hours after experimental infection with metacercaria are described.

It was found that the number of diverticula from each intestinal caecum varies within species, hence Jaiswal's (1957) three species, E. bhagavantami, E. channai and E. heptacecum are proposed as synonyms of E. heterostomum.
