Abstract
The morphology and chaetotaxy of the rediae and the cercariae of Isthm iophora melis are described and compared with other echinostomatids an d related groups of trematodes. Apart from adult morphology of I. meli s, which is typical of Echinostomatidae, the structure of the redia an d chaetotaxy pattern of the cercaria caria the most similar to those o bserved in an echinostomatid genus Paryphostomum as well as in represe ntatives of the family Cathaemasiidae, especially in Cathaemasia hians .
