Despite amphibians having the least number of families in comparison with other vertebrate classes, the digenean parasites within these host species are largely predominant. To date, no investigation has been conducted on the digenean fauna of frogs in western Iran. The helminths occurrence and morphological description of this study were analyzed for the first time. A total of 54 Levant water frogs, Pelophylax bedriagae, (n = 53), and a long-legged wood frog, Rana macronemis, (n = 1) were examined. Frogs harbor in total four digenean parasites. Three taxa were characterized based on morphological features as Gorgodera cf. asiatica, G. varsoniensis, and Pleurogenoides sp. within P. bedriagae, while Haematoloechus sp. was only found in R. macronemis. Pleurogenoides sp. exhibited a moderate prevalence (23%) and intensity (7.3 ± 6.3). Gorgodera cf. asictica can be distinguished from congeners based on the body and sucker size, the ovary and testes shape, and in G. varsoviensis by having lobulated caeca and transversely elongated testes. In addition, Pleurogenoides sp. mainly differs from all its congeners by the form of its body, genital apparatus shape and Y-shaped excretory vesicles. With regard to helminths in amphibians, the existing body of literature is extensive and complex. To accurately determine the species boundaries, both morphological and molecular data are needed. We report two new records of these parasites from the region.
