Abstract

Summary

Extended study of North American representatives of the three trematode families, Polystomidae, Aspidogastridae, and Paramphistomidae has made possible the first comprehensive treatment in this country of their structure and classification. Four new species are added to the genus Polystoma and three new species of two new genera are added to the Paramphistomidae.
