The authors describe and illustrate three different species of microphallid trematodes parasitic in the intestine of an American willet Catoptrophorus semipalmatus (Aves). Testiculoporus cedarkeyensis n. g., n. sp. has morphological characters related to Odhneria and Pseudospelotrema, along with a genital pore drawn back to the level of the sinistral testis. Two species of Odhneria (minuta Ke, 1979 and papilloprocera Ke, 1980), which appear aberrant because of the atypical posterior position of their genital pore, are transferred to the new genus. Endocotyle bushi n. sp. differs from the two other species in the genus by the disposition of the posterior uterine loops, the extension of the vitellarium, egg size and geographical distribution. The evaginated cirrus of Odhneria odhneri is described.
