66 NOTES ON SOME ENTOZOA. 



Hymenolepis carioca (Magalh.) 



From a domestic fowl, Brisbane. Not previously 

 reported from Queensland. 



Hymenolepis megalops (Xitzsch). 



This species has been identified from material collected 

 from a Black Duck, forwarded by Dr. Bancroft, Eidsvold 

 and is now definitely recorded from this State. 



A new host for this parasite is the Teal, Nettion 

 castaneum, specimens having been collected by Mr. C. J. 

 Woollett near Cobar, X.S. Wales. 



The parasite under review was described by Krefft 

 (1873. p. 220 : Johnston. 1912, p. 33) as Tcenia cylindrical 

 and is quite a different form to that described under the 

 same name by Clerc (1902, p. 661), whose specimens came 

 from a gull Larus canus. Clerc's species has been listed 

 as Dilepis ? cylindrica and Choauotcenia ( cylindrica, but 

 since the specific name was already preoccupied in Tcenia ^ 

 the name clerci might be substituted for it. [Taenia 

 cjerci = Ckoanotcenia ? clerci, nom. no v.) 



Diorchis flavescens (Krefft). 



Found by me in a Black Duck, Anas superciliosay 

 shot on the Burnett River. In company with this species 

 of cestode were some trematodes, Echinostoma sp. [sensu 

 lato) . 



Amcebotcenia cuneata (Linstow). 



Found in some fowls in Sydney and also in Brisbane. 

 This small parasite had not been recorded as occurring in 

 Australia. 



Bancroftiella glandularis (Fuhrmann). 



This cestode was originally described by Fuhrmann 

 under the name of Anomotcenia glandularis, from Herodias 

 timoriensis, his material being collected in the East Indies. 

 It is now recorded as infesting the Blue Crane, Notophoyx 

 novce-liollandicE, my specimens being collected by Dr. S. J. 

 Johnston near Gosford, X.S. Wales. I have the same 

 species from this host from Queensland. 



It belongs to the genus Bancroftiella (Johnston, 191 Ic,, 

 p. 50).
