Abstract: Trematodes found in the enteropneust hemichordates are described for the first time. Metacercariae have been found in the trunk coelom, in the collar coelom, in the proboscis coelom, and in the glomerulus of the deep-sea torquaratorid Quatuoralisia malakhovi Ezhova et Lukinykh, 2022. This is the first find of parasites in the glomerulus of acorn worms. The taxonomy of the found trematodes is discussed.
