OBSERVATIONS ON THE MORPHOLOGY AND LIFE-HISTORY OF MICROPHALLUS LIMULI N. SP. (TREMATODA: MICROPHALLIDAE)

HORACE W. STUNKARD 1

1 Department of Biology, New York University, University Heights, New York City

Metacercariae from Limulus polyphemus developed to sexual maturity in white mice and golden hamsters. The worms are described as a new species, Microphallus limuli. Morphologically they are very similar to M. claviformis (Brandes, 1888), but bionomic features seem to preclude their allocation to that species. The genus Microphallus is discussed, Spelophallus Jägerskiöld, 1908 is suppressed as a synonym and S. primus Jägerskiöld, 1908, the only known species, is transferred to Microphallus as M. primus (Jägerskiöld, 1908). In agreement with Cable and Kuns (1951), the family Maritrematidae Baer, 1943 is not accepted.
