HYDROMERMIS CHURCHILLENSIS N. SP. (NEMATODA: MERMITHIDAE) A PARASITE OF AEDES COMMUNIS (DeG.) FROM CHURCHILL, MANITOBA, WITH OBSERVATIONS OF ITS INCIDENCE AND BIONOMICS
Hydromermis churchillensis n. sp. is described. It is distinguished from other species of Hydromermis mainly by the fused spicules and pointed termini of both sexes. One to six larval nematodes may be found in a larva of Aedes communis (DeG.). They emerge to become free-living, molt, mature, mate, a...
