Abstract
The authors describe and illustrate three different species of microph allid trematodes parasitic in the intestine of an American willet Cato ptrophorus semipalmatus (Aves). Testiculoporus cedarkeyensis n. g., n, sp. has morphological characters related to Odhneria and Pseudospelot rema, along with a genital pore drawn back to the level of the sinistr al testis. Two species of Odhneria (minuta Ke, 1979 and papilloprocera Ke, 1980), which appear aberrant because of the atypical posterior po sition of their genital pore, are transferred to the new genus. Endoco tyle bushi n. sp. differs from the two other species in the genus by t he disposition of the posterior uterine loops, the extension of the vi tellarium, egg size and geographical distribution. The evaginated cirr us of Odhneria odhneri is described.
