$ynx and esophagus well marked. Globular acetabulum included in ventro-genital sac which is near mid line and contains no gonotyl. Testes lie side by side at posterior end of body; single small seminal vesicle is connected with a large expulsor. Ovary in front of right testis; globular seminal receptacle in front of left testis; vitellaria postovarial; uterine coils do not pass beyond testes and ventro- genital sac. Adults parasitic in mammals. pseudocirrata Witenberg, 1929, Ann. Trop. Med.

Oral sucker without spines; mouth directed nearly or cpiite forwards. Acetabulum about equa- torial, opening directed forwards; no fold hanging over acetabulum or genital pore. A pseudodermis on spinose hind end of body. Prepharynx short; postpharynx medium long; ceca medium long, at first rather narrow but increas- ing in breadth and about parallel to body margin; excretory vesicle T-shaped with stem which is widened in its anterior portion and with rather long branches. Geni- tal pore immediately preacetabu- lar; no genital sucker. Testes broad, oviform, lobate, situated nearly symmetrically slightly pre- caudal, close to end of branches of excretory vesicle, diagonal; vasa efferentia rather long, run- ning almost straight mediad; vesi- cula seminalis small; cirrus sac postacetabular, dextral, slender, rather long. Ovary in front of and somewhat lateral of right testis, oviform, lobate; recepta- culum seminis postovarial, rather large; vitellaria composed of rather numerous follicles, highly devel- oped, extending nearly entire length of body margin; uterus rather short, narrow, with only two slings not extending postcecal but reaching caudad to branches of excretory vesicle and lying espe- cially in left half of body.

Skin rather thickly spinose, especially that of forebody. Prepharynx long; pharynx distinct. Genital pore postesophageal, submedian, intercecal, somewhat caudad of bifurcation of intestine, near vesi- cula seminalis; genital cloaca mus- cular, spinose. Cirrus absent; testis single, large, postovarial; vesicula seminalis rather large, divided into 2 bulbs, preovarial; pars prostatica small. Ovary slightly preequatorial, pretesticu- lar; Laurer’s canal and receptacu- lum seminis present, latter about as large as ovary; vitellaria slightly developed, rather lateral; uterus extends to extreme caudal end of body more or less completely filling free space caudad of genital pore. Ova very large in com- parison with the body and rather numerous. Cf. Monorchoirema. pumilio Looss, 18966 [Monost.1]: Haplorchis l.—Egypt h—Reported for: #479 Canis (species (wolf) exp.).
