Extract

1. A description of four new species of gregarine found in Blaberus discoidalis and Blaberus boliviensis is given. The species have been called Protomagalhaensia granulosae, Gregarina cubensis (from B. discoidalis), Protomagalhaensia blaberae and Gregarina princisi (from B. boliviensis).

2. A discussion of the taxonomic status of the species in relation to one another and to Gregarina blattarum and Protomagalhaensia serpentula is given, and further work to elucidate this problem is suggested.
