Five species of digenean parasites, Diplodiscus mehrai, Tremiorchis ranarum, Halipegus mehransis, Ganeo glottoides and Ganeo tigrinum, of the frog Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis (Schneider, 1799) (Anura: Dicroglossidae) from the Wayanad Region of the South Western Ghats are reported in this paper. Multiple infections were also recorded during the study. Prevalence of infection of D. mehrai, T. ranarum, H. mehransis, G. glottoides and G. tigrinum were 12%, 8%, 2%, 31% and 8%, respectively, and the intensity of infection were 1.7, 34.4, 2, 4.5 and 2.9, respectively.
