Extract

A new species of the genus Euparadistomum is described from the gall bladder of the domestic cat on Gemo Island, Papua. The incidence of the parasite is extremely low in the Port Moresby area, being recorded from only 1·6% of cats examined. E. pearsoni is the second species recovered from the domestic cat. A revised key to the genus is provided.
