Abstract
1. Ignavia venusta de Freitas is recorded from the kidneys of two Fish-eagles (Cuncuma vocifer) and a Goliath heron (Ardea goliath) from the Southern Sudan.2. Ignavia is regarded as a valid genus and to it is transferred Allechinostomum renale Yeh, 1954.3. Ignavia inops de Freitas (= Echinostomum sp.inq. Dietz, 1910) probably does not belong to the genus Ignavia or even to the subfamily Echinochasminae.4. A new species of Renicola is described from the kidney of the Goliath heron and is named R. goliath.5. The affinities of R. goliath are discussed and R. brantae McIntosh and Farr, 1952 is figured.6. The significance of the occurrence of these two flukes in the Southern Sudan is discussed.Keywords
