Extract

Eight species of digenetic trematodes, 3 of them new, are reported in fishes from Sierra Leone. Stephanostomum africanum n.sp. (Acanthocolpidae) is from Pseudotolithus senegalensis, S.sierraleonensis n.sp. from Galeoides decadactylus, Pycnadena africana n.sp. (Opistholebetidae) from Lutjanus modestus, Megasolena hysterospina (Manter, 1931) Overstreet, 1969 (Haploporidae) from Chaetodipterus lippei, Aephnidiogenes senegalensis Dollfus, and Capron 1958 (Lepocreadiidae) from Pomadasys jubelini, Lepocreadioides cynoglossi Fischthal and Thomas, 1970, (Lepocreadiidae) from Cynoglossus senegalensis, Lasiotocus cynoglossi Thomas, 1959 (Monorchiidae) from Cynoglossus senegalensis, and Poracanthium ghanensis Fischthal and Thomas, 1970 (Opecoelidae) from Galeoides decadactylus.
