Abstract

A description of the male and a redescription of the female of Philometra cylindracea, a parasite of yellow perch (Perca flavescens), are presented.

Philometra cylindracea has a one-year developmental cycle starting as infective larvae in June and becoming mature, larvigerous worms at the end of next June. Cyclops vernalis was found to be a suitable intermediate host under experimental conditions.
