Record of Psilotornus confertus Machalska, 1974 (Trematoda: Psilostomidae), a parasite of birds, in water-shrew Neomys fodiens Pennant, 1771 (Insectivora: Soricidae) in the Oriental Pyrenean Mountains.
Psilotornus confertus Machalska, 1974 was found in the water-shrew Neomys fodiens Pennant, 1771 in the Oriental Pyrenean Mountains. This fact may be considered as accidental for the time being. The findings of P. confertus, Brachylaemus fulvus (Dujardin, 1843) and Pseudoleuco-chloridium soricis (Soltys, 1952) in N. fodiens in these mountains are discussed from the bioecological aspect.
