Extract

Whilst examining the contents of a number of insects from the neighbourhood of Pretoria (Transvaal), a flagellate was found occurring in the alimentary canal of a Hemipterous insect, Cletus varius Dall1. Unfortunately, no observations were made on the living parasite and the following notes on its morphology are only derived from the study of ordinary dried smears, fixed in alcohol and stained with Giemsa. In consequence of the method of preparation, the finer nuclear details have been destroyed, but nevertheless we have been able to make out the main points in the structure of this parasite, and as no further material is available we have decided to publish our results in their present form.
