Maritrema neomi n. sp. is described based on specimens found in the intestine of the Mediterranean water shrew (Neomys anomalus) from the Ukrainian part of the Carpathian Mountains. The most important diagnostic features of M. neomi are the body size, sucker ratio, shape and length of the cirrus sac, the cirrus sac/body length ratio, and the topography of the intestinal ceca. Maritrema neomi differs from Maritrema carpathica in the length and shape of body, size of eggs and vitelline follicles, and length of uterus; from Maritrema feliui, in length of cirrus sac, the cirrus sac/body length ratio, and length of intestinal ceca; from Maritrema pyrenaica, in the suckers ratio, shape of body, and size of some internal organs; and from metacercariae of Maritrema galloprovinciale, by much smaller size of body and internal organs, size of vitelline follicles, and topography of the vitellarium. The life cycle of M. neomi involves as intermediate hosts prosobranch snails (Terrestribythinella) and gammarid crustaceans (Gammarus (Rivulogammarus) balcanicus).
新米氏吸虫（Maritrema neomi n. sp.）是根据在来自喀尔巴阡山脉乌克兰地区的地中海水鼩（Neomys anomalus）肠道中发现的标本进行描述的。新米氏吸虫最重要的诊断特征包括虫体大小、吸盘比例、阴茎囊的形状和长度、阴茎囊与虫体长度的比例以及肠盲囊的形态。新米氏吸虫在虫体长度和形状、虫卵和卵黄滤泡大小以及子宫长度方面与喀尔巴阡米氏吸虫（Maritrema carpathica）不同；在阴茎囊长度、阴茎囊与虫体长度的比例以及肠盲囊长度方面与费氏米氏吸虫（Maritrema feliui）不同；在吸盘比例、虫体形状和一些内部器官大小方面与比利牛斯米氏吸虫（Maritrema pyrenaica）不同；在虫体和内部器官的大小、卵黄滤泡大小以及卵黄腺形态方面与加洛普米氏吸虫（Maritrema galloprovinciale）的尾蚴不同。新米氏吸虫的生命周期涉及前鳃亚纲蜗牛（Terrestribythinella）和鳃足亚纲甲壳动物（Gammarus (Rivulogammarus) balcanicus）作为中间宿主。
