Abstract
The cryptogonimid trematode Neochasmus sogandaresi n. sp. is described from the intestine and pyloric caeca of a single specimen of the striped bass Morone saxatilis (Walbaum, 1792) from the West Pascagoula River in Mississippi. The species is 1.3–1.7 mm long and has 31–37 oral spines, a sucker width ratio of 1:0.45–1:0.54, a forebody 13–18% of the body length, and an elongated muscular pad. It is compared with the five other species in the genus.
