307] STUDIES ON GREGARINES— WATSON 97 



til the cephalonts of the former or the sporonts of the latter or both wiU 

 have been described, the two species must remain separate. 



The only other parasite described from a host belonging to the sub- 

 family Oedipodinae (Acrididae) is Gregarina locustae Lankester, but 

 the sporonts of the two species are not identical. 



The second host named is now known as Nemohius sylvestris (F.). 



GREGARINA HYALOCEPHALA Dufour

Dufour 's description is as follows: 



"Oblongo-conica ; cephalothorace hemispherico diaphano, abdominis quartam 

 partem subadaequante . Hab. in ventriculo Tridactyli." 



The species is, from this description, and from the character of the 

 epimerite (Figure 182) quite evidently a member of the genus Grega- 

 rina. 



Frantzius does not mention the species; Diesing and Lankester 

 merely do so and Labbe places it among his Uncertain Species.
