Summary
Two trematodes from the intestine of the Slow Loris, Nycticebus coucang, in Malaya, are described: Odeningotrema bivesicularis n. g, n.sp., and Novetrema nycticebi n.g., n.sp. (Fam. Lecithodendriidae Odhner, 1911, Odeningotrematinae n. subfam.). Both species are less than 1 mm long. They differ from other species of the family Lecithodendriidae in the presence of a transverse cirrus sac at the level of the anterior margin of the acetabulum, a genital pore between the acetabulum and the side of the body at the level of the anterior margin of the acetabulum, and vitellaria which fill the posterior part and the sides of the body, beginning at the level of the pharynx.
