Extract

It is concluded that Bearup's cercaria, described from Pyrazus australis in Australia, is different from Cercaria variglandis; the former develops into Austrobilharzia terrigalensis and the latter into A. variglandis (Syn. M. Chapini Price, 1929; M. variglandis Stunkard and Hinchliffe, 1952).

Bearup's cercaria should be henceforth treated as that of A. terrigalensis and not as C. variglandis.
