 This parasite has been taken from the body cavity of 

 Coracina sclateri, Cisticoln cxilis ami Calornis metallica, 

 in the Australian region as well as from a great number of 

 song-birds in other parts of the world. Linstow in 1897 

 recorded the worm as Filaria tricuspid, hut in 1905' he 

 removed it to the genus Aprovta. Quite recently Railliet 

 and Henry' lm\e |daeed the species under I )i plot riaeiia.
