Some nematode parasites of earthworms from the Indo-Malay region
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
Some account is given in this paper of certain nematodes obtained by Prof. G. E. Gates from the coelomic cavities of various species of earthworms from South India, Assam and Singapore. The material was kindly submitted to the writer by Prof. Gates in 1936, 1937 and 1939. Of the forms included in it several were represented by specimens insufficient or unsatisfactory for adequate description, and it has seemed advisable to deal only with those species of which a reasonably full account can be given. Of these there are seven, all of which are thought to be new. Four of them can be assigned to a known genus, Synoecnema de Magalhães, 1905; the other three probably represent as many new genera.
