The metacercarial stage of Ascocotyle (Phagicola) diminuta Stunkard and Haviland, 1924 has been found encysted in the gills of Fundulus heteroclitus. Experimental infections of rats, mice, hamsters, Larus argentatus and Nycticorax nycticorax have yielded adult worms and permitted additions and emendations to the description of the parasite.
