Title: THE LIFE HISTORY OF EPIBDELLA MELLENI MACCALLUM 1927, A MONOGENETIC TREMATODE PARASITIC ON MARINE FISHES
Abstract: 1. The description of the adult of Epibdella melleni MacCallum 1927 is corrected and extended, and the complete life history of the parasite is described. 2. The morphology of the larva of E. melleni, including the excretory pattern, is described in detail. 3. The general outline of the development of the larva into the adult is traced. 4. Susceptibility to infection with E. melleni has been found to be limited to certain families of the order Acanthopteri.
