Extract

The anatomy of the oncomiracidium of Capsala martinieri, a monogenean skin parasite of the sun fish Mola mola, is described and compared with that of the oncomiracidium of Entobdella soleae, a skin parasite of the common sole Solea solea.

The oncomiracidium of C. martinieri is characterized by the occurrence of an extensive bilaterally symmetrical and constant pattern of body pigment of unknown function.
