The life cycle of Eumegacetes artamii has been traced, using Thiara tuberculata as the first intermediate host, dragon-fly-naiads as second intermediate hosts and chicks as experimental definitive hosts. Cercaria, metacercaria and young fluke are described in detail. The cercariae are non-virgulate xiphidiocercous with 2 pairs of penetration glands and belong to "pusilla" group of Sewell 1922. The systematic position of the genus Eumegacetes is discussed.
