Two species of the genus Baruscapillaria are known to parasitise the small intestine of the common cormorant: Baruscapillaria carbonis and B. rudolphii. A redescription of the former species, based on specimens collected from common cormorants shot in South Bohemia, Czech Republic, is provided. Morphological features distinguishing B. carbonis and B. rudolphii are specified. B. carbonis is characterised mainly by the well-developed membranous bursa in the male, composed of five distinct lobes; the length of the spicule is 1.9-2.3 mm; gavid females are provided with a long vulvar appendage. Male of B. rudolphii have reduced, bi-lobed membranous bursa and the spicule is 0.9-1.3 mm long; the vulvar appendage is absent in gavid females. This is the first record of B. carbonis in the Czech Republic.
