Abstract

Two different Eumegacetes parasites and another Phaneropsolus species were found to be the most common trematodes infecting the Egyptian Cuculus (Centropus senegalenses aegyptius); shot from Edfina, Behera province, Egypt. These species appeared to be different from all the previously described related species. Therefore, full morphological picture was given together with complete differentiation from other related species. Camera lucida drawings as well as microphotos were made from mounted speciemens.
