Abstract
An appearance of Lernaeolophus sultanus (Milne Edwards, 1840) was noted in buccal cavity of Pneumatophorus colias (Gmelin, 1788), originating from Las Palmas (Canary Isl.). Subject of this paper is a penetration of the parasites into eye-socket and nasal cavity and the anatomo-pathological changes associated with an invasion of the parasites.
