Abstract
In a review of the genus Encyclometra, only three species are considered to be valid : the genotype Encyclometra colubrimurorum (Rudolphi, 1819) Dollfus, 1929 ; E. japonica Yoshida and Ozaki, 1929 with synonyms E. microrchis Yamaguti, 1933, E. koreana Park, 1940 and E. vitellata N. K. Gupta, 1954 ; and E. asymmetrica Wallace, 1936. The intestinal caeca are shown to be a constant, useful and reliable character to differentiate the various species in the genus. In the light of some new information, the genus is slightly amended.
