| Abstract | ||||
| The adults and five immature echinostomes were encountered in the intestine of Plegadis falcinellus falcinellus shot near Assiut City, Upper Egypt. Careful study of the worms proved that they belong to the genus Patagifer erected by DIETZ (1909). The present material was compared with the ten previously reported species and found to be different in having smaller number of collar spines. They were therefore considered to be a new species and named after their final host. | ||||
