title: Indosolenorchis hirudinaceus Crusz, 1951 (Platyhelminthes; Digenea) from the Dugong, Dugong dugon (Müller) (Mammalia; Sirenia).
abstract: Indosolenorchis hirudinaceus Crusz, 1951 from the caecum and large intestine of the dugong (Dugong dugon Müller) is redescribed from specimens from the Red Sea, East Africa, Sri Lanka, Japan, Indonesia and Australasia. Specimens described by Dollfus (1950) as Zygocotyle species are referred to Indosolenorchis hirudinaceus. There is some doubt concerning the identity of the genus Solenorchis as described by Hilmy (1949), but for the time being, it seems best to retain Solenorchis and Indosolenorchis as separate genera.
