216 MANTER 



coloidea for the family Chimaericolidae Brinkmann, 1942. This family 

 includes only two genera and, until now, two species: Chimaerkola 

 leptogaster (Leuckart, 1830) Brinkmann, 1942, from the gills of Chim- 

 aera monstrosa in the North Atlantic and Callorhynchicola branchialis 

 Brinkmann, 1952, from the gills of Callorhynchus callorhynchus (Linn.) , 

 the elephant fish, from the coast of Chile. C. multitesticulatus is very 

 similar to C. branchialis, differing chiefly in possessing about 125 rather 

 than about 20 testes. Eggs appear to be significantly smaller than the 

 170 by 70 }i size in C. branchialis; branches of the uterus are more dis- 

 tinct ; the vitellaria do not extend posterior to the testes but do extend a 

 little further anteriorly; the oral sucker is more distinct; and the hap- 

 toral clamps have a more muscular bowl. Haptoral hooks were not de- 

 scribed for C. branchialis. 



Two specimens, identified as C. multitesticulatus, were collected by 

 the author from the gills of Callorhynchus milii from New Zealand. 

 Both of these were broken off near the haptor, which was not found. They 

 agreed with the South African specimens in number of testes, distribution 

 of vitellaria, and egg size. The uterine branches or lobes were larger and 

 more regular ; many of the older embryos in the uterus were free of egg 

 membranes and even more mature than in the South African specimens. 

 Until better material can be studied, the New Zealand form is consid- 

 ered the same as the one from South Africa. 



The hosts (Callorhynchus) from New Zealand and from Chile were 

 from almost identical latitudes and probably near the South African lati- 

 tude.
