284 Sporozoa 



Family 3. Cephaloidiphoridae. The epimerite is rudimentary. Early 

 syzygy occurs and association is sometimes multiple. Ovoid spores (Fig. 6. 

 4, K) are released by rupture of the gametocyst. 



Two genera are included: Carci7ioecetes Ball (5; Fig. 6. 7, P) and Cephaloidophora 

 (5, 45; Fig. 6. 7, Q).
