Summary
Five echinostome species have been found in man in the Malayan Archipelago, with the following names and spine formulas: Euparyphium Ilocanum. Spine formula Echinoparyphium Recurvatum. Spine formula (3+2)+(8+8)+11+1(8+8)+2+3) Euparyphium Malayan. Spine formula (3+2)+(0+2)+(16+15)+(2+0)+(2+3). Echinostoma Revolutum and E. Lindoensis. Spine formula (3+3)+(0+10)+(6+5)+(10+0)+(3+3). Echinostoma Revolutum and E. Lindoensis. Spine formula (3+2)+(0+6)+(8+7)+(6+0)+(2+3).
