Abstract
Specimens from 20 amphibian species from central Mexico were examined for h elminths. We found 21 digenean species; 4 of them are recorded for the firs t time in Mexico. Twenty-two new host and 21 new locality reports are added . Previous reports of these helminth species are summarized, and biogeograp hical aspects of hosts and parasites are discussed.
