as SPOEOZOA. 



Bemarhs. — Watson (1916) has separated this species from 

 L. erratica ; but Bhatia and Setna (1924) are incHned to doubt 

 if L. erratica and L. gryllorum are really distinct. Specimens 

 having a broadly rounded protomerite may be rounded pos- 

 teriorly, and conversely a specimen which might be referred 

 to L. gryllorum (by virtue of a deep constriction at the septum 

 and a conical posterior end) may possess a protomerite which 

 is conical anteriorly. Several specimens show intermediate 

 conditions in all these respects. 



Habitat. — Gizzard and mid-gut of Gryllus sp. : Punjab,. 

 Lahore. 



33. Leidyana xylocopae Bhatia & Setna. (Fig. 35.) 



■\Leidyana xylocopas, Bhatia & Setna, 1924, pp. 279-81, figs. 1-8. 



Body elongate and cylindrical, rounded anteriorly and 

 slightly tapering posteriorly, chalky-white in colour and filled 

 with paraglycogen granules. Epimerite a large, simple, 

 sessile knob, narrowing but slightly near the base. Length of 

 protomerite to total length as 1 : 10 ; width of protomerite 

 to width of deutomerite as 1:1-4. Sporonts always solitary, 

 varying in form and size. Length of protomerite to total 

 length as 1 : 4-6-7 ; width of protomerite to width of deuto- 

 merite as 1 : 1-3-1-8. Protomerite rounded or dome-shaped, 

 and there is a deep constriction at the septum. Deutomerite 

 elongate, slightly broader in the middle and tapering 

 posteriorly ; posterior end always rounded. Nucleus varies in 

 position in the deutomerite, and is a large rounded vesicle with 

 a sharply defined membrane and a large spherical karyosome. 

 Gametocysts and sporocysts not known. 



Dimensions. — Fairly large cephalont 90 ju. in length; sporonts 

 23-174 ^ in length. 



Habitat. — AHmentary canal of the carpenter bee, Xylocopa 

 eestuans (Linn.) : Punjab, Lahore.
