Abstract / Notes

Bock found previously 3 rhabdocoels parasitic in the sea-cucumber, Stichopus tremulus, which he named
Anoplodium stichopi, Meara stichopi, and Umagilla elegans. The author found these 3 and also 2 additional
forms, Anoplodiera voluta and Wahlia macrostylifera, listed as new genera and species but not formally
described, all 5 occurring in the digestive tract of Stichopus.
