Abstract

The histological characteristics of the pharynx, terminal genitalium and acetabulum of four paramphistomes from African freshwater fishes are described. New pharyngeal types are described for Basidiodiscus ectorchis, Sandonia sudanensis, Panamphistomum benoiti and Brevicaecum niloticum, new terminal genitalium types for P. benoiti and B. niloticum, and a new acetabular type for P. benoiti. Amendments are made to the basidiodiscus, sandonia and brevicaecum acetabular types of Sey (1987). P. benoiti is reported from Synodontis nigrita in Nigeria, a new host and geographical record.
