VALIDITY OP SPECIES 



Diplodinium vortex Fiorentini is undoubtedly identical with 

 Ophryoscolex purkynjei Stein, and Diplodinium rostratum Fiorentini 

 is unquestionably a recent division product of Diplodinium caudatum 

 described by the same author. We have already referred to the 

 validity of the species described by Eberlein (1888) as D. caudatum 

 and shall refer to it again along with D. vortex Fiorentini, and D. 

 rostratum Fiorentini. With the exception of Buetschlia neglecta 

 Schuberg, Buetschlia lanceolata Fiorentini and Diplodinium eberleini 

 nom. nov ( = D. caudatum Eberlein), all of the above named species 

 (described from the stomachs of ruminants) are present in the stomachs 

 of the sheep and cattle from the Pacific Coast, i.e., principally from 

 California, Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico.
