Abstract
C. koliensis is described from Melanoides terebra. The cercarial body is large and has a cycloid gut and precociously developed reproductive organs which approach the adult condition. Similarities between it and Cercaria patialensis and Transversotrema haasi are noted. The possibility that it is a representative of a separate group in the order of Strigeatoidea is suggested.Keywords
