Dolichopera macalpini n. sp., a Trematode Parasite of Australian Poisonous Snakes

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 April 2009

Extract

In 1911, I received from Dr Georgina Sweet of Melbourne University, two lots of Trematodes stated to have been collected respectively from the intestine of the tiger snake, Notechis scutatus, and the lungs of the copperhead snake, Denisonia superba. In 1916, Dr Burton Cleland, of the Bureau of Microbiology, Sydney, sent me two tubes containing similar parasites, obtained from the peritoneum of an unidentified snake killed on Flinders Island.
