Abstract | ||
A new species of trematode parasite was found in the small intestine of the little green Egyptian bee-eater, Merops orientalis cleopatra. It is superficially resembles Cercario ides aharoni WITENBERG, 1929. After comparing the two trematodes, the encountered paza site was found to belong to a hitherto unknown species to which the name Cerearioides witenbergi is suggested. | ||
