Genus SETARIA Viborg, 1795 



SETARIA EQUINA (AbUdgaard, 1789) 



Host. — Equus caballus. 

 Location. — Unknown. 



SETAKIA, species 



Host. — Equus caballus. 



Location. — Eye. 



A single immature female specimen from the eye of the horse. 

 The posterior end is smooth, as in Setaria digitata^ but there is no 

 terminal knob. Tlie specimen in question is probably Setaria digitata 

 (v. Linstow, 1906). This nematode was originally described from 

 Ceylon, and has also been recorded fi-om India. It is possible that 

 the terminal knob appears only in mature forms, presumably as a 

 result of a constriction in the cuticle in the posterior region. 



Heretofore young filarids from the eye of the horse have been 

 found to be Setaria laUato-pa-piUosa by Railliet and Henry (1911). 

 According to Bauche and Bernard (1912) young forms of Setaria 

 lahiato-papillosa occur in the eye of the horse in Anam. 



Family THELAZIIDAE 



Genus CHEILOSPIRURA Diesing, 1861 



CHEILOSPIRURA HAMULOSA (Diesing, 1851) 



Host. — Gallus domestious. 

 Location. — Gizzard. 



Several female specimens were found under the horny lining of 

 the gizzard, firmly attached to the inner surface of the lining.
