Abstract
Nemhelix bakeri n.gen., n.sp. (Cosmocercinae), from the genital tract of Helix aspersa Miiller (Helicidae) in France, is described. The new genus is characterized by a rounded oral opening without lips. The authors presume that the Cosmocercinae arose in amphibians and became parasites of molluscs secondarily and that the two species became molluscan parasites independently.
