| Abstract | ||||
| Examination of red sea fished at Jeddah revealed the presence of larval cestodes belonging to the trypanorhynchid cestode genera: Grillotia Guiart, 1927, and Otobethrium Linton, 1890. Cestodes of the former genus were found in the intestine of Roving Grouper (Plectropomus _ maculatus, Bloch 1790, locally known as El-Nagil) fishes, and those of the latter genus in cysts attached to the mesentry of Mahsena_ Emperor (Lethrinus mahsena, Forsakal 1775, locally known as El-Shuour fishes. The incidence and morphology of these two larval stages are discussed. | ||||
