fairly transparent, with the body covered with spines. Length 
8-5 mm., breadth 0-54 mm. The oral sucker is nearly circukr, 
bat slightly flattened at the top, 0-10 mm. across, with a circular 
aperture. Ventral sucker circular, 0-12 mm. across, and placed 
well in front of the centre of the body. The prepharynx is 0-30 
mm. long, pharynx 0-08 mm. long, and the oesophagus the same 
length as the prepharynx. In the length of the oesophagus it does 
not agree with the diagnosis of the sub-family Lepocreadiin* as 
given by Odhner, in which it is designated as very short. The 
intestinal lobes are rather thick, and reach to the posterior end of 
the body. The excretory vesicle lies dorsallv, and is a narrow sac 
reaching almost to the front testis. The testes measure 0-36 by 
0-30 mm, and are placed one in front of the other, with a small 
space between, their long axes being slightly inclined. From each 
a very thin vas deferens runs up to the vesicula seminalis. The 
portion of the latter lying outside the cirrus sac is considerably 
longer than in L. rachhra, and is surrounded by a similar mass of 
colls, which is, however, not so globular, and follows the somewhat 
3-shaped form of the hind part of the vesicula seminalis. It is 
also slightly nearer the centre than in L. rachhra, although still to 
the right side. Behind the ventral sucker the cirrus sac be-ins 
surrounding the second part of the vesicula seminalis, which is 
looped as m L. rachirea; from this the pars prostatica leads to a 
short cirrus, opening into a very small genital sinus. The genital 
pore lies to the left, some way behind the intestine, but in front 
of the ventral sucker. The ovary is circular, C-24 mm. across ; the 
oviduct gives off dorsally a pear-shaped receptaculum seminis and 
aLaurer's canal to the left; the proximal portion of the Laurer's

Vitellanan duct and shell gland, and passes into the uterus, which 
Winds m not many loops, containing over 100 eggs, the eras 
measuring 0-066 mm. by 0-036 mm.; they are more pointed at 
one end than at the other. The female duct opens with the male 
duct into the genital sinus. The vitellaria are well developed, and 
extend from the posterior end of the body to a little way behind 
the ventral sucker, here again not quite agreeing with the diagnosis 
ot the sub-family Lepocreadiimr, in which the vitellaria reach at 
least to the ventral sucker. 
The life history is not known.
