212 MANTER 



The two species described below were sent to the author by Dr. 

 Robert A. Wardle, University of Manitoba, who had received the ma- 

 terial from the University of Capetown, South Africa. They had been 

 collected from Callorhynchus capensis Dumeril. One is believed to be a 

 new species of Callorhynchicola and to be the same as a specimen col- 

 lected by the author from Callorhynchus milii Bory in New Zealand. 

 The other species belongs to Squalonchocotyle, a genus hitherto known 

 only from Selachians.

 10 mm long by 5.8 mm wide; "stalk" 14.7 mm long by 0.312 to 0.850 

 mm in width. Body corrugated by transverse rings most conspicuous on 

 "stalk;" edges of rings pointing in anterior direction (Fig. 2). Haptor 

 0.803 mm long by 0.390 mm in greatest width ; with 8 claspers in two 

 alternating rows. Claspers somewhat smaller at one end (anterior?) ; 

 size 0.148 to 0.195 mm in width by 0.094 to 0.150 mm in length. Each 

 clasper consisting of a muscular bowl and three curved sclerites; one
