Abstract

Three species of trematodes (Digenea) were collected from a leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) stranded on the coast of Lampedusa (Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea, Italy). One, Enodiotrema carettae, was found in the liver and two, Enodiotrema instar and Pyelosomum renicapite, in the intestine. E. carettae and E. instar are new host findings, E. carettae is a geographic novelty as well. A description of E. instar, previously reported and described by Looss (1902), is included.
