Abstract
Maritrema orensensis sp. n. (Digenea: Microphallidae) from Balneario O rense, Buenos Aires province, Argentina, is described. Adults of M. or ensensis were collected from the intestine of the kelp gull Larus domi nicanus Lichtenstein, 1823 (Aves: Laridae) and differ from adults of o ther related species, principally, in the shorter intestinal caeca and the incomplete ring of vitelline follicles.
