Abstract
Plagioporus hypentelii sp. n. (Trematoda: Opecoelidae) is described from the intestine of the hogsucker, Hypentelium nigricans (LeSueur), in streams of Adams County, Pennsylvania. It most closely resembles P. serotinus Stafford, 1904, but differs from it chiefly in its less elongate shape, smaller size, smaller testes, ovary, and eggs, straight cirrus sac, in hosts and geographic location of the hosts.
