Abstract
From its type locality in Germany, Echinostoma revolutum (Froelich, 18 02) Dietz, 1909 have cercariae with long cylindrical tails, and typica l slender finger-like tips. The tail surface bears seven independent f in folds arranged in three pairs: proximal dorsoventral, distal dorso- ventral and ventro-lateral pairs, plus a single small papilla-like fol d. Previous descriptions are inadequate due to incorrect interpretatio ns or incomlete descriptions of the nature of the cercarial fin folds.
