The metacercaria of an accacoeliid is reported for the first time from the cirripede Lepas indicus Annandale, 1909 collected from the Visakhapatnam coast, Bay of Bengal. Evidence is presented to show that it belongs to Tetrochetus coryphaenae Yamaguti, 1934 which occurs in the intestine of Coryphaena hippurus and Diodon hystrix. The life cycle pattern in accacoeliids is discussed, of supporting the inclusion of a paratenic host in the scheme.
