 I tripunctata, Rivolta (1874), Railliet (1S93). Syn.,

 ils of cattle. — Stomoxys calcitxans, Geoffroy ;

all biting fly of wide distribution, closely resem-

 MJ's it the most active agent in the inoculation of 

 and septicemia. It is a very troublesome

1011 PARASITES 



Dujardin. — Strongylus arnfieldi, Cobbold. Found 

 in the trachea and bronchi of the domestic horse and 

 ass. Cobbold referred the bronchial strcngyle of the 

 ass to Strongylus micrurus, Mehlis, of bovine animals, 

 but Railliet has shown its identity with Strongylus a m- 

 fieldi. — Strongylus axei, Cobbold. Found in the 

 walls of the stomach in the domestic ass. — Strongylus 

 bronchialis, Cobbold (1860). See Filaria lymphat- 

 ica, Moquin-Tandon. — Strongylus bronchialis 

 canis, Osier. See Filaria osleri, Cobbold. — Strongy- 

 lus capreoli, Rudolphi. A doubtful species reported 

 from an old Vienna catalogue as from the kidney of a 

 goat. — Strongylus cernuus, Creplin. See L'ncin- 

 aria cernua, Creplin. — Strongylus clathratus, 

 Baird. Syn., Sclerostomum clathrum (Baird). Found 

 in the stomach and intestines of Indian and Afri- 

 can elephants. — Strongylus commutatus, Diesing. 

 Syn., Filaria leporis pulmonalis, FrShlich. Found in 

 the trachea and bronchi of hares and wild rabbits and 

 rarely in the domestic rabbit. — Strongylus contortus, 

 Rudolphi. Syn., Strongylus ovinus, Fabricius, Gmelin ; 

 Strongylus fillicolis, Rudolphi. Found in the abomasum 

 of the sheep, goat, argali, chamois, and cattle ; pro- 

 ducing at times in Europe and the United States an 

 epizootic disease (A/agentourmseuche), a kind of per- 

 nicious anemia in lambs and yearling sheep. — 

 Strongylus convolutus, Ostertag (1890). Syn., 

 Strongylus osterfagi, Stiles (1893). Found frequently 

 in the abomasum of cattle, causing a pernicious anemia 

 and gastric catarrh in young animals. Stiles takes 

 exception to the specific name comolutus as it was 

 once employed for a parasite of the dolphin, now 

 referred to the genus Pseudalus. We prefer to retain 

 the discoverer's name. It may be, as suggested by 

 Neumann, a variety of Strongylus contortus, Rudolphi. 

 — Strongylus dentatus, Rudolphi, Dujardin, Ziim. 

 See CEsophagostoma dentatum, Rudolphi. — Strongy- 

 lus dorcadis, Rudolphi. Vienna catalogue (1821). 

 See Strongylus filaria, Rudolphi. — Strongylus doug- 

 lassii, Cobbold. This was found in the crop of the 

 ostrich. — Strongylus duodenalis, Schneider 1866). 

 See Doc/imhts duodenalis, Leuckart (1876). — 

 Strongylus elephanti (sid, Rudolphi (1819). See 

 Ascaris lonchoptera, Diesing. — Strongylus elon- 

 gatus, Dujardin. See Strongylus paradoxus, Meh- 

 lis. — Strongylus equinus, Miiller. See Sclerostoma 

 armata, Dujardin. — Strongylus falcifer, Cobbold 

 (1882). Found in the intestine of the Indian elephant. 

 — Strongylus filaria, Rudolphi. This is found in the 

 trachea and bronchi of the domestic sheep and cattle, 

 goat, Bactrian camel, roebuck, fallow-deer, argali, 

 and gazelle, producing a disease called " Hoose," or 

 "Sheep-cough." Dujardin refers the Strongylus dor- 

 cadis, Rudolphi, from the old Vienna catalogue, to 

 this species. — Strongylus fillicolis, Rudolphi. There 

 is a confusion of this worm with Strongylus contortus, 

 Rudolphi, by early writers. It is found in the 

 abomasum and small intestine of the domestic sheep 

 and goat. According to Curtice it is frequently found 

 in the United States in autumn and winter. The 

 Trichosoma papillosum, Wedl, may r be but a young 

 form of this parasite. — Strongylus foliatus, Cobbold. 

 Found in tumors of the stomach of the Indian ele- 

 phant. — Strongylus gigas, Rudolphi (1802). See 

 Eustrongylus gigas, Diesing ( 1 851). —Strongylus 

 hypostomus, Rudolphi, Bremser, Creplin, Diesing. 

 See Sclerostoma hypostomum, Dujardin. — Strongylus 

 inflatus, Schneider. See CEsophagostoma inflatum, 

 Schneider. — Strongylus longevaginatus, Diesing 

 (1851). See Stro'tgylus paradoxus, Mehlis (1830). 

 Diesing, Weinland, Kuchenmeister, and Cobbold hold 

 this to be identical with Filaria lymphatica, Moquin
