1907 Geneiorhynchus aeshnae Crawley 1907: 227 



1911 Geneiorhynchus aeshnae Sokolow 1911: 282 



1913 Generorhynchus aeshnae Ellis 1913: 275, 289 



Sporonts solitary, cylindrical. Length of trophozoite 420jU. Ratio 

 (without epimerite) LP:TL: :1:3. WP:WD: :1.1:1 Protomerite widest 

 at base, curving gently anteriorly, ending in a trifncate cone. No con- 

 striction at septum. Deutomerite narrower than protomerite at septum, 

 tapering thence and ending in a broad truncated extremity. Epimerite a 

 large globular papilla borne on a short stout neck from the protomerite and 

 "liberally provided with short spines directed backward." (Crawley). 

 Nucleus spherical with several karyosomes. Sarcocyte in apex of pro- 

 tomerite very thick. Endocyte not dense, nucleus visible in vivo. Cyst 

 and spores not known. 



Intestine? of Aeschna coustricta Say. (Aeschna c.) 



Taken in Southeastern Pennsylvania. 



Genus BOTHRIOPSIS Schneider 1875: 596 



Epimerite an ovoidal structure with six or more long slender filaments. 

 Protomerite very large, septum convex upward. Spores biconical.

1919 Bothriopsis claviformis Pinto 1919: 87 

 Sporonts elongate-triangular, widest at anterior end, bluntly acuminate 



posteriorly. Dimensions: 100 to 200/t in length, 70 in width (of protomer- 

 ite). Ratio LP:TL: :1:7; WP:WD: :1.4 : 1. Nucleus spherical to irregular 

 in shape. 



Intestine of Aeschnida sp. 



Taken at Manguinhos, Brazil. 



Genus ASTEROPHORA Leger 1892: 129

 projecting upward from the center. Spores cylindro-conical.
