1090 MR. E. J. ORTLEPP ON THE 



Male bursa broad anteriorly and narrowed behind ; small 

 tubercles on its ventral face. The spicules ai'e unequal, right 

 short and broad, left long and filiform; measure •62mm. and 

 1'76 mm. long respectiv^ely. One pre-anal pair of papillae (the 

 median probably missed) and five post-anal pairs of ventral 

 papillae ; the airangement of these papillte is similar to those 

 found in Ph. 'mordens, except that the relation of the 3rd and 4th 

 pairs to the ventral mid-line is the reverse to that found in 

 Fh. inordens. Four pairs of lateral stalked papillae. 



Female tail rounded, l/53i-d of body-length. Vulva in the 

 region of union of the 1st and 2nd body sixths. Egg 57 X 39 /x,. 



Host : Homo sapiens. Intestine. Caucasus. 



(49) Fhysaloptera digitata Schneider, 1866. 



Length of male 20 mm., of female 27 mm. 



Outer tooth small, inner tooth larger than outer, with its tips 

 i"Ounded. Vulva 4 mm. from head end. Of the inner bursal 

 papillae, 3, 4, and 5 are more or less in a line on the ventral 

 surface. Distance between 4 and 5 smaller than between 3 

 and 4. Distance from 5 to tip of tail more or less equal to the 

 distance between 3 and 5 ; 1 and 2 immediately behind anus. 

 Three pre-anal papillae in a triangle. Four pairs of stalked 

 papillse ; the distance between the most anterior two pairs 

 greater than that separating the others. 



Host : Felis concolor. Stomach. Bi-azil. 



Ph. terdentata MoL, 1860, was described from the same host, 

 but it appears to be different from Ph digitaia Schn.,as shown by 

 the difference in arrangement of its post-anal sessile papillpe. 

 The nature of their teeth is, however, very similar. 



(50) Physaloptera brevispiculum v. Linstow, 1906. 



Male 11"1 mm. long x "95 mm. thick; female ll-4mm. long 

 xl*06 mm. thick. Each lip with three small peaks (teeth?) 

 on its summit. A preputium-like thickening over the tail is 

 present. 



Oesophagus l/6'5, tail in male l/9'4, in female 1/22-3 of body- 

 length. Spicules very short, feebly curved, •79--81 mm, long. 

 Eggs 36 X 31 /x. 



Host : Felis ruhiginosa. Stomach. Ceylon. 



(51) Physaloptera gemina v. Linstow, 1899. 



Length, male 11-4, female 19 mm. x "53 mm. thick. 



Two lai-ge conical external teeth ; small lateral teeth ; more 

 smaller ones internally. 



Oi^sophagus 1/5-9, tail of male l/19th, of female l/35th of 

 body-length. 



Bursa pointed ; 4 pairs lateral stalked papillae arranged in two 

 groups, 2 pairs pre-anal and 2 pairs post-anal. Eleven ventral 

 papillae, of which 3 are in a pre-anal row, 2 in a row just behind
