Abstract
The occurrence of one specimen of Amphiorchis solus (Simha \& Chattopadhyaya, 1970) found in the heart of a green sea turtle Chelonia mydas Linnaeus, 1758 from Ceara state, Brazil, is reported. A comparison of the morphology of Amphorchis caborojoensis Fischthal \& Acholonu, 1976 and A. solus also is presented. A new geographical distribution of A. solus is reported. (AU)
