Abstract
Thelazia callipaeda were observed from a 7-month old baby who lived in Uijongbu in 1989 and from a 42-year old man who lived in Anyang in 1994. These are the 23rd and 24th records of human thelaziasis in Korea as the literature are concerned.

The anterior margin is beset with a pair of amphids (Am), sensory papillae (P), cuboidal elevations (arrow heads) and then connections (open triangle). Am: amphid, E: esophagus, P: papillae, arrowhead: cuboidal shape thickening of cuticle, empty triangle: gull shaped cuticular thickening. Fig. 6. A pair of sensory papillae ard closely observed at the outer anterior margin. Fig. 7. An amphid is magnified showing a ventral slit. Fig. 8. The other amphid is covered by an artifact. Fig. 9. Transverse cuticular striations at the anterior portion, which are compact. Figs. 10-11. Transverse cuticular striations at the middle portion are less dense than those at the anterior end. Fig. 12-13. Tail portion of a male with 7 preanal sensory papillae. Fig. 14. One preanal papilla consists of a central nerve and with surrounding crateriform elevation of the cuticle. Fig. 15. Tail portion of a female T. callipaeda. An: anus, Pm: phasmid. Fig. 16. Higher magnification of th anus.
