MR. R. J. ORTLEPP ON THE 



(95) Physaloptera strongylina Rud., 1819. 

 Syn. Spiroptera affinis Duj., 1845. 



Length of male 7-87 mm., of female 15-25 mm. to 20*25 mm. 



Body white and head appears to have papillae; tail of male 

 with lateral alae, so that it resembles a Strongylid tail. Spicules 

 fairly long and thick. 



Host : Cuculus seniculus. Stomach and intestine. Brazil. 



Molin ruled this species out of the genus Physcdoptera, stating 

 that it belonged to a new genus. 



The description is too incomplete to warrant it being referred 

 to any now known Nematode genus. 



(96) Physaloptera tenuicollis Rud., 1819. 



Syn. Spiroptera tenuicollis (Rud.), Duj., 1845. 



Male unknown ; length of female 41 mm., breadth 1*15 mm. 

 Mouth rounded ; anterior end sharply attenuated for a 

 distance of 2'25 mm. 



Host : Falco halia'dtus. Intestine. 



Molin (1860) has identified this species as an Ascaris.
