Extract

The lymph system of Zygocotyle lunatum consists of a pair of longitudinal vessels dorsal and slightly medial to the intestinal caeca with branches to various body organs. On the basis of the lymph system and host relationships of the type genus Zygocotyle, the diagnosis of the sub-family Zygocotylinae as modified by Bhalerao to contain Stunkardia dilymphosa must be revised.
