Extract

In a recent paper Dr L. R. Cleveland (1938) has published some observations on a remarkable flagellate called “Teranympha”, which was discovered nearly 25 years ago by Dr M. Koidzumi in the white ants of Japan. I do not now propose to discuss this singular organism itself, however, but only its name and certain other matters of wider interest which its nomenclature suggests—matters which seem to me, indeed, to merit the immediate attention not only of all parasitologists but even of zoologists generally.
