Let M be an ( n + 1 ) -dimensional Riemannian manifold admitting a covariant constant endomorphism h of the localized module of 1-forms with distinct non-zero eigenvalues. After it is shown that M is locally flat, a manifold N immersed in M is studied. The manifold N has an induced structure with n of the same eigenvalues if and only if the normal to N is a fixed direction of h . Finally conditions under which N is invariant under h , N is totally geodesic and the induced structure has vanishing Nijenhuis torsion or is covariant constant are found.
