Note on Lintonium vibex (Linton, 1899) (Digenea—Trematoda) | Parasitology | Cambridge Core (original) (raw)

Extract

In March 1947 I collected a number of digenetic trematodes from the gullets of Cantherines setosus (Waite) and Cantherines güntheri Macleay. Three individuals of each species were examined and two of each were found to contain four or five trematodes. The fishes are known locally as ‘Leather-jackets’, and were taken from the shallow coastal waters of southern Tasmania. The parasites appear to be Lintonium vibex (Linton, 1899) Stunkard & Nigrelli, 1930.
