Extract

The genus Astiotrema Looss is parasitic in reptiles (tortoises and snakes), except Ast. impletum Looss, which is known from a fish Tetradon fahaka. Hitherto three species of this genus have been recorded, two from Egypt and one from Naples (Italy). The present paper contains an account of two more species obtained from tortoises at Allahabad. The allied genus Glypthelmins Stafford is parasitic in Amphibia in North America.
