A rare echinostome cercaria - Cercaria abyssicola Wesenberg-Lund, 1934 is redescribed on the base of the material found in Valvata piscinali s from the lake Asveja in Lithuania. Description of the cercaria is co mpleted with data concerning the number of collar spines (equal to 45) , structure of excretory system and pattern of chaetotaxy. Some detail s are also added to the morphology of redia and metacercaria. The taxo nomic status and possible affinities of the species are discussed.
