Abstract
Two members of the Aspidogasteridae, Aspidogaster conchicola and Cotylaspis insignis were found to feed on the host's blood cells. The habitat of the former worm (pericardial and renal cavities of clams) would readily lend itself to a blood cell mode of nutrition. This is not as obvious in the case of the latter worm although it is quite apparent when the circulatory system of the clam is examined.
