Abstract
While examining a collection of amphistomes from a red lechwe (Onotragus leche), obtained by the late Dr. P. L. LeRoux, one of us (Y. L.-S.) found a few specimens of a species which appeared to be undescribed. On a later trip to Northern Rhodesia Dr. LeRoux made a further collection consisting of several hundred specimens from the same host-species. The worms were recovered from the caecum, which contained up to fifty specimens.Keywords
