BLASTOCRITHIDIA N.G. (MASTIGOPHORA: PROTOMONADINA) FOR CRITHIDIA (IN PART), WITH A SUBARCTIC RECORD FOR B. GERRIDIS (PATTON)
Two quite distinct genera of the family Trypanosomidae Doflein have been confused under the name of Crithidia Léger, which, as shown by Wallace some years ago, is properly referable only to certain small, truncate insect flagellates having a stiff flagellum emerging from a funnelled anterior depress...
