Extract

The material on which the following description is based consists of a single pair of male and female worms obtained from under the gizzard lining of a Burmeese Pea-fowl (Pavo muticus). Although the material was so limited, the parasites are of sufficient interest to warrant their description, especially as they show characters which lead one to the conclusion that they represent a hitherto unknown species; also it is a species very closely related to A. (Cheilospirura) hamulosus, a parasite of chickens.
