Fibropapillomas on the eyes and flipper of the green turtle, Chelonia mydas from Hawaii. overnight for egg expulsion, fixed in alcohol-formalin-acetic acid (AFA) solution for two days, then transferred to 70% ethyl alcohol for storage. Whole mounts used for identification were stained in Semichon's acetocarmine, dehydrated in a graded ethanol series, and mounted for examination. Voucher specimens were deposited at the Institute of Parasitology, California State University, Long Beach, California. Results Ten turtles ranging from to cm in size, all with tumors, were found infected with a total of 232 worms comprising six genera and seven species of digenetic trematodes (Table 1). Intestinal Fauna Angiodictyidae Looss, 1902 Fourteen specimens of Polyangium linguatula (Looss, 1899) Looss 1902 were recovered from the small intestine of four turtles (40%). Turtles from the islands of Oahu (3) and Lanai (1) shared the total number of this species collected during the study (Table 1). This is the first report of this species from C mydas in the eastern Pacific. Previous reports are from Puerto Rico (Dyer et al. 1991), Australia (Blair 1986),.
