Digenea is a class of trematodes in the Platyhelminthes phylum, consisting of parasitic flatworms with a syncytial tegument and, usually, two suckers, one ventral and one oral. Adults commonly live within the digestive tract, but occur throughout the organ systems of all classes of vertebrates. Once thought to be related to the Monogenea, it is now recognised that they are closest to the Aspidogastrea and that the Monogenea are more closely allied with the Cestoda. Around 6,000 species have been described to date.

Allocreadiidae is a family of flatworms belonging to the order Plagiorchiida. In their adult stage they parasitize teleosts through their digestive system; they can also parasitize other vertebrates in freshwater ecosystems such as frogs, salamanders, and snakes. Allocreadiidae are distinguished from other Trematoda in the cercarial stage, where the cercaria have both an eye-spot and a stylet. The cercaria of Allocreadiidae also develop in lamellibranchs, whereas many other trematodes develop in gastropods.
