ABSTRACT:
Galactosomum stelleri sp. n. (Trematoda: Heterophyidae), a new trematode from the small intestine
of the Stellers or northern sea-lion Eumetopias jubatus is described. An adult female specimen of E. jubatus
collected from Indian Beach, Oregon, U.S.A., harbored over 100 specimens of these trematodes. The new species
most closely resembles Galactosomum ubelakeri (Dailey, 1969) Pearson, 1977, and Galactosomum humbargari
Park, 1936 but differs in body shape and size, lack of tegumental spines, length of esophagus, and ventral genital
complex configuration. This is the third report of a species of Galactosomum from a marine mammal.
