Abstract

Corynosoma magdaleni sp. nov. (Acanthocephala) is described from the gray seal, Halichoerus grypus (Fabricius), and the Atlantic harbor seal, Phoca vitulina concolor (DeKay), the latter as an infrequent accidental host in Eastern Canada. Juveniles were found in halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus (Linn.) and shorthorn sculpin, Myoxocephalus scorpius (Linn.) in the Magdalen Islands region of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
