Abstract

In this paper, we provide the first data on the occurrence of the trematode Leucochloridium perturbatum Pojmanska, 1969 in Serbia. This is also the first record of the genus Leucochloridium Carus, 1835 from the country. Trematodes were found pulsating in the tentacles of the amber snail Succinea putris (Linnaeus, 1758). Collected broodsacks are described, and short notes about the habitat where specimen was found are given.
