title: [Attempt to determine by chaetotaxy the genus of a microphallid cercaria parasiting Cerithium meditteraneum Deshayes (author's transl)].
abstract: Chetotaxy of a cercaria parasite of Cerithium meditteraneum is studied. Sensory receptors C III, St V, St DL, AID, PI and U, are similar to those of Maritrema linguilla and Maritrema subdolum. However in the three cercariae, the ventral, dorsal and lateral papillae, except AID and PI (V, L, D) are different. The chetotaxy of this cercariae shows that they belong to the genus Maritrema. Investigations of the biological cycle are under way to verifie this hypothesis.
