Host.—PhyllomediLsa lemur Boulenger, one good infection, from United States National Museum specimen No. 29935, 22 mm. long, from Turialba. Costa Rica: Burgdorf and Schild, col- lectors. Measurements of an ordi- nary individual. — Length of body mm.; width of body mm.; thickness of body mm.; length of nucleus mm.; width of nucleus mm.; length and breadth of endospherules, first mm. by mm., second mm. by mm.; cilia line interval, an- terior mm., posterior mm. This is a remarkably chunky Cepedea., densely clothed with long cilia. In my specimens the axial re- gion of the body is greatly vacuolated, the irregular vacuole and its branches occupying more than half the thickness of the body. The body is considerably flattened, its thickness be- ing about two-thirds its breadth. When discussing the Opalinae we will com- pare this species with a series of others of similar appearance, but increas- ingly flattened, namely, 0. helenae., 0. helenae phyl- lomedusae., and 0. morel- etei. These forms, parasitic in the Hylidae, in histological appearance and in the condition of the excretory vacuole resemble the forms Cepedea phrynomantidis. 83103—23 ^11.
