The Structure and Life-history of the Cockroach (Periplaneta orientalis) / An Introduction to the Study of Insects

by L. C. Miall; Alfred Denny

Other species of Oxyuris are said to occur in the same situation,

e.g., O. gracilis and O. appendiculata (Leidy, Proc. Acad. N. S. Phil., Oct. 7th, 1879), and O. macroura (Radkewisch, quoted by Van Beneden in Animal Parasites, Engl. trans., p. 248).

Filaria rhytipleurites. Nematelmintha.

Encysted in the fat-body of the Cockroach; sexual state in the alimentary canal of the Rat. Spiroptera obtusa is similarly shared by the Meal-worm (larva of Tenebrio molitor) and the Mouse.

Acarus, sp. Arachnida.

Found by Cornelius upon the sexual organs of a male Cockroach.
