Based on light microscopic observations, nerve pathways are described for the first time in the praesoma of a species of the Echinorhynchidae. The pathways are described for 18 nerves, 8 paired and 2 single, which originate from the cerebral ganglion and a post‐ganglionic cell and terminate in the body wall musculature and the proboscis. The location of two commissures formed by these nerves is also described.
