305] STUDIES ON MYXOSPORIDIA—KUDO 67 



CERATOMYXA PALLIDA Thelohan 



Habitat: Gall-bladder of Box boops L. and B, salpa L.; Marseille, 

 Villefranche, Rovigno, Monaco (May). 



Vegetative form: Ordinarily spherical not exceeding 16 to 20/i in 

 diameter. Many individuals often found in massive groups. Pseudopodia 

 lobose and mostly short. Protoplasm extremely pale with fine granules. 



Spore: Dimensions: sutural diameter 5^, breadth 25 to 30)u. 



CERATOMYXA GLOBULIFERA Thelohan 

 [Fig. 25] 

 1895 Ceratomyxa globulifera Th61ohan 1895 : 338 



Habitat: Gall-bladder of Merluccius merluccius L. {M. vulgaris) \ 

 Marseille, Banyuls. 



Vegetative form: Polymorphous. Elongated into long branches, 

 including endoplasm. Endoplasm contains small refractive globules. 



Spore: Elongated. Shell- valves unequal, one being longer and finer 

 than the other. Dimensions: sutural diameter 10/i, breadth 50/x. 



CERATOMYXA APPENDICULATA Thelohan 



[Fig. 26] 



1892 Ceratomyxa appendiculata Th61ohan 1892a : 963-964 



1895 Ceratomyxa appendiculata Thelohan 1895 : 337 



1898 Ceratomyxa appendiculata Doflein 1898 : 300, 311 



Habitat: Gall-bladder of Lophius piscatorius L., L. budegassa Spin.; 

 RoscoflF, Le Croisic, Marseille, Banyuls, Napoli, Rovigno. 



Vegetative form: Extremely polymorphous. Young form spherical, 

 spatulaform, club-shape, etc. In adult form, the main thick part of the 

 body, in which spore formation takes place, forms 1 to 6 long prolongations, 

 twice or three times longer than the main part of the body. Pseudopodia 

 lobose, filiform or elongated with enlargements. Disporous. 



Spore: Lateral prolongations of shell- valves well developed. Dimen- 

 sions: sutural diameter 5 to J/x, breadth 50/i. 



CERATOMYXA TRUNCATA Thelohan 

 [Fig. 27] 



1895 Ceratomyxa iruncata Th61ohan 1895 : 336 



1912 Ceratomyxa truncata Parisi 1912 : 289-290 



Habitat: Gall-bladder of Clupea pilchardus Walb. {Alosa sardina); 

 Marseille, Villefranche, Napoli (August, September).
