Extract

The specimens described herein were collected by one of us (M.A.R.) from the stomach of Rana esculenta in Al-Basrah, Iraq. After fixation in 70% alcohol and staining in Gower's carmine, they were found to be a hitherto undescribed species of the genus Halipegus Looss, 1899 which is named here as Halipegus alhaussaini n.sp. in the honour of the late Professor A. H. Al Haussaini; Formerly Head, Department of Zoology, University of Ain Shams, U.A.R. for his distinguished contributions to the study of zoology in Egypt.
