Extract

Microfilariae were demonstrated in stained blood films from two New Guinea frogs, Cornufer papuensis, and this material was later given to me by a colleague. The frogs, which had been preserved in alcohol for some months, were examined for adult forms after having been softened in a solution of equal parts of glycerol and 70%alcohol. One male, one female and the anterior part of a second female of a new species of the genus Icosiella Seurat, 1917 were found in one frog. Two females and four males of a new species of the genus Ochoterenella Caballero, 1944 were found in the second frog.
