Summary

The various published schemes of classification of the family Paramphistomidae Fischoeder, 1901 are reviewed. The morphological and histological characters employed in the classification of paramphistomid trematodes of ruminants are discussed and assessed. The value of histological details (Näsmark's system) and of tegumental papillae as specific characters is recognized. Different types (some new) of acetabulum, pharynx and terminal genitalium (newly defined) in median sagittal section are defined and illustrated and a key to their separation is provided. Various types of lining and muscular development of the oesophagus are illustrated and scanning electron photomicrographs of the different types of tegumental papillae observed on the anterior region of some species are provided.
