title: [Corrigia vulturini sp.n. and Corrigia corrigia (Braun, 1901) Strom, 1940 in Acryllium vulturinum Hardwicke from Somalia].
abstract: Trematodes found in Acryllium vulturinum Hardwicke from Somalia are described as Corrigia vulturini sp.n. and Corrigia corrigia (Braun, 1901) Strom, 1940. This is the first record of the genus Corrigia from a numidide bird. Corrigia vulturini sp.n. differs from other Corrigia spp. of comparable body dimension, by having vitellaria of equal length; the original drawing would suggest that this is also the case with C. ulari. C. vulturini sp.n. differs from the latter by the body width at the level of the anterior testicle, by the size of the internal organs and of the suckers, by the position of the vitellaria with respect to the ovary and by the distance between the testicles. Corrigia corrigia differs from the original description by longer vitellaria and greater cirrus pouch dimension.
