8-Lecithobotrys putrescens Looss, 1902 ( Fig. 8) ( S. bar 0.3 mm Host: Mugil cephalus Location: intestine Locality: Lake Qarun ,Egypt Description: The worms are grayish white in color, elongated and tapering anteriorly. The whole body surface of the worm is covered by spines which are easily shed. The oral sucker is subterminal and relatively larger than the ventral sucker. The pharynx is large, elongated in shape. The prepharynx is short . The intestinal caeca are tubular in shape and extending back far beyond the ventral sucker to the posterior end of testis. The bifurcation of the intestine occurs dorsal to the ventral sucker. The testis is located not far behind the ventral sucker and it is nearly rounded . The cirrus pouch is egg-shaped. The ovary is median, spherical in shape, lying behind the testis. The vitelline glands are formed of two irregular shaped follicles in each laterally. The eggs are numerous .The excretory vesicle is large and saccular opened by the main excretory pore which is sub-terminal and lies in a large depression in the posterior extremity of the worm.
Discussion The morphological characters of L. putrescence under investigation were agreed with that described by Al-Bassel (1987) although the measurements of the ovary and testis in the present specimens were smaller in size, a feature which may be due to incompletely grown parasite obtained in the present work.
