Abstract
Levinseniella (Monarrhenos) capitanea n. sp. is described from metacercariae on the hepatopancreas and gonads of Callinectes sapidus Rathbun from Louisiana and Mississippi. It can be distinguished from all other members of the genus by possessing 11–21 atrial pockets and an acetabulum larger than the oral sucker, not possessing a pharynx nor well-developed ceca, and being 1.9–3.6 mm in length. Heardlevinseniella Yamaguti, 1971 is considered a synonym of Levinseniella Stiles & Hassal, 1901.
