Microhabitat use of metacercariae of Panopistus pricei and Brachylaima thompsoni in 2 terrestrial gastropods, Neohelix albolabris and Webbhelix multilineata, was studied. Metacercariae of both species were found in the kidney proper, as commonly reported, but over half were located in the reflected part of the ureter (primary ureter); no metacercaria was found in the pericardium.
