Abstract
A description is given of the morphology and behaviour of the oncomiracidium of the monogenean D. sagittata. The larva has many features in common with the oncomiracidium of Diplozoon paradoxum but its development is less precocious than the latter. Suggestions are made as to the possible relationships of a pair of degenerate hooks on the haptor.Keywords
