AGAMOFILAKIA GEOKGIANA Stiles, 190T. 
See p. 11 of this bulletin. 
(AGAMOFILAKIA?) OCULI (Siebold, 1839) Stiles, 1907, species dubia. 
1832: Nordmann, 1832, 7-8; in Homo; Berlin, Germany; 1843, 67. 
1839: Filaria oculi Siebold, 1839, 158, based on Ammon, 1838, figs. 22, 23, in Homo; 
not F. oculi Clarkson, 1845a, of horses; not F. oculi of parrots; not F. oculi 
Gervais & Beneden, 1859, see F. loa. 
1851: Filaria lentis Diesing, 1851a, 265; binominal for F. oculi humani. 
1880: Filaria oculis Chiralt, 1880a, 2-9, Ifig. ; 1882a, 473-480. 
1896: Filaria okuli humani Schneidemnehl, 1896, 304. 
1901: Filaria oculi hominisF anWQgQardi, 1901,129. 
Diesing’s (1851) specific name lentis is usually adopted for this spe- 
cies, but so far as I can find, oculi^ 1839, is the first available name. 
H. Greiaus Deslongclaa-ixips, 1834. 
1824: Filocapsularia Deslongcliamps, 1824q, 398-400 (m. communis Deslongchamps, 
1824q, 399-400, a sj^ecies which includes a number of jmeviously named 
species). 
One alleged parasite of man (namely, Sjnrojjtera liominis — Filaria 
pisciurn) should apparently be classified in this genus. The exact 
position of the genus is uncertain. 
“SPIROPTERA HOMINIS” Rudolphi, 1819. 
1809: Filaria pisciuni Eudolphi, 1809a, 74-75. — Meissner, 1863, 55. 
1819: Spiroptera hoinmis Rudolphi, 1819a, 27, 250-253 (in Homo, female: London). — 
Beneden, 1878a, 279 (sym. of Filaria piscium). — Gervais & van Beneden, 
1859a, 146-147. — Gues, 1879a, 181. — Meissner, 1863, 55 (syn. of Filaria 
piscium). 
1824: Filocapsularia communis Deslongchamps, 1824q, 399-400; in fish, 
1825: Spiroptera rudolphi 6.e\\e, Chiaje, 1825, 7-8, pi. 1, fig. 3; S. hominis renamed. 
1825: Spiroptera rudolpMana delle Chiaje, 1825a 7, apparently intended as Italian 
for S. rudol 2 )hi, but accepted by some later authors (as Blanchard, 1889d, 
706) as a Latin name. 
1851: Agamonema commune (Deslongchamps, 1824) Diesing, 1851a, 120-121; in fish. 
1851: Strongylus gigas pullus Diesing, 1851a, 223 (refers to Bremser, 1819a, 226, pi. 4, 
figs. 6-10), as syn. of Spiroptera hominis. 
1851: Spiroptera rudolphii Diesing, 1851a, 223 (for S. rudolphi) as syn. of Sp. hominis. 
This was a spurious parasite. It was afterwards shown to be Filaria 
piscium^ a species which is classified as Filocapsularia communis or 
Agam onema piscium.
