Extract

An intestinal trematode of shrews previously identified as Opisthioglyphe locellus Kossack, 1910, by Macy & Moore (1958) in Oregon is identified as Neoglyphe soricis (= Opisthioglyphe soricis) originally described from Sorex araneus L., in Poland by Pojmańska (1956). N. soricis found in Sorex cinereus, near Anchorage, Alaska, is a new host and new locality record. N. soricis, the only species of Neoglyphe known from North America, is compared with its Eurasian counterpart and closely related species. Evidence supporting the retention of the genus Neoglyphe originally proposed as a subgenus by Shaldybin (1953), and raised to generic rank by Yamaguti (1958), and invalidated by Zarnowski (1960), is presented.
