Extract

1. A new species of Brugia (Brugiella subgen. nov.) buckleyi is described from the heart and blood vessels of the Ceylon Hare (Lepus nigricollis singhala).

2. This worm is much larger than the other species of Brugia. It lacks a distinct head bulb and has a relatively much shorter oesophagus. The vulva in the female is close to the posterior extremity of the oesophagus. In the male the caudal papillae differ in their number and arrangement and the spicule ratio is much smaller.
