Meiogymnophallus sinonovaculae n. sp. (Digenea: Gymnophallidae) is described from metacercariae found in the razor clam, Sinonovacula constricta, in the Republic of Korea, and adults recovered from the small intestine of experimentally infected mice. The worms are characterized by paired clusters of vitelline follicles, a well-developed pars prostatica with abundant prostate cells, a voluminous undivided seminal vesicle (in adults and metacercariae), and large, grouped, domelike sensory papillae on the ventral surface anterior to the ventral sucker (in metacercariae). This new species resembles the type species Meiogymnophallus affinis, but differs in having compact, elliptical, and 4-5-lobed vitellaria, and an excretory vesicle with bicornuated anterior arms reaching to the oral sucker. This is the second documentation of the presence of a species of Meiogymnophallus in the Republic of Korea.
韩国缢蛏体内发现的尾蚴及实验感染小鼠小肠内获取的成虫中鉴定出了新种——缢蛏微裸盘吸虫（复殖目：裸盘科）。该虫体的特征为：卵黄滤泡成对成簇，前列腺部发达且前列腺细胞丰富，精囊大且不分叶（成虫和尾蚴均如此），腹吸盘前方腹面有大的、成群的、圆顶状感觉乳突（尾蚴）。该新种与模式种近缘微裸盘吸虫相似，但不同之处在于其卵黄腺紧密、呈椭圆形且分4 - 5叶，排泄囊前臂双角状且延伸至口吸盘。这是韩国境内第二次记录到微裸盘吸虫属的物种。
