Extract

Adult trematodes belonging to the genus LeucocMoridium Carus are here reported for the first time from North America. These flukes are intestinal parasites of birds and proved to be previously undescribed species.

In the present paper a key separating the species of the genus is given, and the following are described and figured as new species:

Leucochloridium certhiae n. sp. from Certhia familiaris americana;

Leucochloridium mniotiltae n. sp. from Mniotilta varia;

Leucochloridium icteri n. sp. from Icterus galbula;

Leucochloridium vireonis n. sp. from Vireo griseus griseus;

Leucochloridium sorae n. sp. from Porzana Carolina.
