A cyathocotylid cercaria, Cercaria kuwaitae II sp. n., is described from the prosobranch gastropod, Cerithidea cingulata (Gmelin, 1790) collected from the muddy shores of Kuwait Bay. Details are presented on the morphology and behaviour of the cercaria as well as on the microtopography of the surface of the cercaria and daughter sporocyst.
