| Abstract | ||||
| TWO cyclocoeliid parasites were encountered in the serous cavities of the moorhen, Gallinula chloropus chloropus. Cyclocoelum sp. was found to differ from C. microsto mum in having a ventral sucker and non eye-Spotted miracidia. Typhlocoelum sp. was found to differ from all previously described forms in having ventral sucker, great number of medial caecal diverticula, extent of vitelline follicles, smaller eggs and non eye - spotted miracidia. The differnetiating features of both genera were discus sed. The presnet author stopped his identification at the generic level waiting for further work on the life cycles of such parasites. Typhlocoelum is described from Egypt for the first time, and Gallinula chloropus chloropus is a new host record for this parasite. | ||||
