Leger and Duboscq (1911) have described a new species, Cephaloido- 

 phora maculata, from Gammarus marinus which is identical with the aber- 

 rant species referred to above. 



Family GREGARINIDAE Labbe 1899:9 



Epimerite symmetrical, simple. Sporonts solitary or in association. 

 Cysts with or without spore-ducts, spores symmetrical. 



Genus URADIOPHORA Mercier 1912a 



Intestinal parasites. Development extracellular. Epimerite an 

 elongate papilla. Cysts without sporeducts. Spores spherical or sub- 

 spherical, not united in chains, faint equatorial line. End portion of deuto- 

 merite of satellite greatly constricted. Associations of two sporonts.

Characters of the genus. Syzygies of two sporonts, infrequently of 

 three. Sporonts very elongate, cylindrical. Ratio LP:TL::1:20 

 (primite) 1 : 28 (satellite without appendage). WP: WD:: 1:1.9 to 

 1 : 2. Sporonts 700^ in max. length. Nucleus sub-spherical. Epimer- 

 ite an elongate papilla, persistent in sporonts. Deutomerite with small 

 atrophied appendix. Nucleus in adults spherical, with one large karyo- 

 some; chromidial bodies frequently found in both protomerite and deu- 

 tomerite. Cysts ovoidal, 38 to 44/i in diam. Spores 4)u in diam. 



Intestine of Atyaephyra Desmaresti Millet. 



Taken at Nancy, France. 



Genus PYXINOIDES Tregouboff 1912 



Intestinal parasites, extracellular in development. Epimerite a short 

 stype dilated in middle to form a globe with sixteen longitudinal grooves, 

 the free upper end of the style being about 2n in length. Septum with 

 small disc-shaped horizontal swelling in middle. Sporont ovoidal, nucleus 

 large, one karyosome. Syzygies of two sporonts, the primite always 

 larger. Cyst and spores unknown.
