Abstract
Pleurogenoides cyanophlycti n. sp. (Digenea, Pleurogenidae) from the intestine of the water skipper, Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis (Anura, Dicroglossidae), inhabiting the Western Ghats, India is described and illustrated. Pleurogenoides cyanophlycti n. sp. is new to the genus and is separated from its congeners on the basis of differences in morphology and morphometry. It is named after the host, E. cyanophlyctis.
