Habitat: Mucosa of branchiae of Coregonus lavaretus L. (C. fera);

MYXOBOLUS ANURUS Cohn 

 [Figs. 422 and 423] 



1895 Myxobolus anurus Cohn 1895 : 42-43 



1896 Myxobolus anurus Cohn 1896 : 266 

 1899 Henneguya psorospermica 



anura Labb6 1899 : 102 



1910 Myxobolus anurus Wegener 1910 : 76 



1911 Henneguya psorospermica 



anura Nemeczek 1911 : 146 



Habitat: Branchiae of Esox lucius L.; Konigsberg (March, December), 

 Frisches Hafif, Pregel, Masurische See, Lotzen, (September, October). 



Vegetative form: Cysts small rounded and of white color. Cohn 

 measures length 0.6mm., breadth 0.34mm. Wegener's form: length 0.3 

 to 0.5mm. and breadth 0.2 to 0.3mm. 



Spore: Cohn's descriptions are as follows: More or less oval. Dimen- 

 sions: length 12 to \Sn, breadth 4 to 6.8^t, polar capsule 5.5 to In by 2.1 to 

 2.5)u, length of polar filament 32 to 38^. 



Wegener's form : Elongated and narrow, often with a tail. Dimensions : 

 length 15)U (maximum up to 18/x), breadth 6 to 7^t, polar capsule 8ju by 3^. 



Remarks: Tho Labbe classified this as a subspecies of Henneguya pso- 

 rospermica Thelohan, Wegener's observation gives stronger basis for placing 

 this form in the genus Myxobolus.

 form occur, often, without order in the same cyst.
