title: [Parasites of chelonians in intertropical Africa: Polystomoides nabedei n. sp. (Monogenea, Polystomatidae), a parasite of the bladder of the freshwater tortoise Pelomedusa subrufa Lacépède, 1788 (Chelonian, Pelomedusidae) (author's transl)].
abstract: Description of Polystomoides nabedei n. sp., a parasite of the bladder of the freshwater tortoise Pelomedusa subrufa Lacépède, 1788 in Togo. P. nabedei is similar to Polystomoides chabaudi Euzet et Combes, 1965 described in Madagascar and reported from Uganda by Tinsley (1973) in the same host, but differs in that the hooks of the external pair are longer, the hooks of the internal pair show an insertion of the hilt very close to the point (while it is found to half the length in P. chabaudi), the vitellogenes are more developed in the post-testicular area.
