The surface topography of Corrigia vitta is described by scanning electron microscopy of specimens collected from the pancreatic ducts of Apodemus sylvaticus. The presence of several small sensory papillae on the oral sucker, ventral sucker and along the ventral surface of the fluke was revealed. The integument possessed a number of projections (spines or tubercles) which varied in length and shape according to their distribution, and there were several pores around the bases of these projections. The eggs possess a smooth surface and the operculum is polar.
