Extract

The present paper is concerned with the description of six species of gregarines which are all parasites of British earthworms; they are: Apolocystis herculea (Bosanquet, 1894), A. lavernensis sp.nov., A. perfida sp.nov., A. rotaria sp.nov., A. spinosa sp.nov., A. villosa (Hesse, 1909) Cognetti, 1923. The observations upon which these descriptions are based form part of a larger survey of the monocystid fauna of several British earthworm species from the Cardiff area. The methods used are fully described in a previous paper (Rees, 1962).
