Extract

This highly distinctive worm was collected in Honde, Southern Rhodesia, on two separate occasions, from hosts designated “house rat” and “native granary rat” which the writer understands could readily be one and the same, since houses and granaries in these areas are built in fairly close proximity. If, however, it is assumed that these buildings are at a distance from each other, it is possible that two different genera and species are concerned; and if such is the case, the “granary” rat might possibly be a field rat. It is regretted that the identification of the host cannot be more explicit.
