Extract

A description of Neoparadiplostomum magnitesticulatum gen. et sp. nov. and Neoparadiplostomum kafuensis gen. et sp. nov. is given. The material was obtained from the intestine of Crocodilus niloticus, Kafue River, Northern Rhodesia.

The genus Neoparadiplostomum which is proposed as new is closely related to all the other genera of the subfamily Proterodiplos-tomatinae, but differs from them in the nature of the paraprostate and the arrangement of the sexual ducts.

A catalogue is given of some known strigeid (Trematoda) parasites from the African Continent.
