Abstract
Bivesicula caribbensis sp. n. occurs in the pyloric ceca of the squirrel-fish, Myripristis jacobus, in Curasao and Jamaica. The adult is described and a key to the species of Bivesicula is given. Ecological data and limited experimental evidence indicate that the cercaria of B. caribbensis is a previously undescribed larva which develops in Cerithium literatum and matures directly when eaten by the definitive host.
