title: [Metacercaria in the invertebrates of the Madras coast].
abstract: In planktonic and benthic invertebrates of the Madras coast, Bay of Bengal, six Metacercariae have been reported. Four species are from planktonic intermediate hosts. They were found in Ctenophora, Leptomedusa and the gastropod Janthina. They belong to the Hemiurate, Fellodistomatidae and Lepocreadiidae. Two species are from benthic molluscs and belong to the family Monorchiidae respectively to the subfamily Halipeginae. We can expect that the adults of three species are not described.
