Abstract
Four hundred twenty-seven Eleutherodactylus johnstonei from 13 study s ites in Bermuda were examined for helminths during March, July, and No vember 1995. Four nematode species, Parapharyngodon garciae, Aplectana sp., Abbreviata sp., and Batracholandros sp., and 2 trematode species , Mesocoelium monas and an unidentified species belonging to the famil y Opecoelidae, were found. The Batracholandros sp. and the opecoelid t rematodes represent new records of parasitism in this frog species and for Bermuda.
