Abstract

Species of Echinostoma Rudolphi, 1809 (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) belonging to the 'revolutum' species complex were re-examined based on material gathered in an extensive sampling programme in eight countries in Europe. The morphology of the life-cycle stages was studied in naturally and experimentally infected snail and bird hosts. A review, with an updated synonymy, is presented for six European species, including one new to science, i.e. Echinostoma revolutum (Frölich, 1802) (sensu stricto) (type-species), E. bolschewense (Kotova, 1939), E. miyagawai Ishii, 1932, E. nasincovae n. sp., E. paraulum Dietz, 1909 and Echinostoma sp. IG), and keys to the identification of their cercariae and adults are provided.
