. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. 358 BULLETIN 140, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM under Tropidocerca inflata in 1861 but it was a one-line description which is not recognizable. Linstow (1879a) says the material he described in 1877 as Tropidocerca paradoxa is Diesing's Tropido- cerca inflata. Since Linstow probably had access to the collections in making his comparisons, and since we have no evidence one way or the other, we must assume he is correct in saying he was dealing with the same species as that of Mehlis, and accept his description of it. However, at a later date (1899) Linstow states that T. paradoxa is a synonym of Hystrichis papillosus (Eustrongylides papillosus) while Jaegerskiold (1909) has listed both T. paradoxa Linstow, 1877, and Hystrichis papillosus Linstow, 1899 in part as synonyms of. Fig. 420.—Microtetramerbs inermis. a, Ovejector. After Seurat, 1914. b, Part of same ; c, ovary, oviduct, and initial region of dterus ; d, vulva ; e and f, hatching of eggs. After Seurat, 1913 Eustrongylides elegans. Linstow's description and figures are un- questionably of a species of Eustrongylides and agree with E. elegans in all particulars except the length of the spicule. It follows there- fore, from all the available evidence, that Microtetrameres inflata is in reality a species of Eustrongylides and the present writer will not include the description of it in the Tetrameridae but under E. ele- gans, the latter, however, apparently also being synonymous with E. mergorum (p. 372). MICROTETRAMERES MINIMA (Travassos, 1914) Travassos, 1915b Synonym.—Tetrameres minima Travassos, 1914. Hosts.—Primary: T achy phonics cristatus brunneus; secondary: Unknown; probably similar in a general way to that of T. flssispina (p. 343). L ocation.—Pro ventriculus.
