Extract

1. An account on the cercariae found in Melanopsis praemorsa common in the River Yarkon (Israel) is given.

2. A new species of Cercaria of the Pleurolophocerca group, Cercaria orospinosa, is described.

3. The development of C. orospinosa to the stage of metacercaria in the tadpole of Bufo viridis shows its affinity to the subfamily Cryptogoniminae (Hetero-phydae).

4. An artificial genus Velocercaria is proposed to comprise cercariae which have common morphology with Cercaria orospinosa and are characterized by the same type of tail-fins.
