1848 Gregarina tennis Frantzius 1848:195 



1851 Gregarina tennis Diesing 1851 :13 



1863 Gregarina tennis Lankester 1863 :94 



Host: Allecula sp. 



No mention is made of this species among those in Labbe's Sporo- 

 zoa or in the list of Sporozoa in Lankester 's Treatise (1903). The spe- 

 cies is probably a true Gregarina, for Frantzius included in this genus 

 only gregarines " stets zu zweien aneinandergeheftet." 



He credits the discovery of the species to Hammerschmidt.

This species is well illustrated by Frantzius. It does not appear in 

 Labbe's Sporozoa.
