From 1931 to the middle of 1936 we occasionally examined the gut contents of the centipede Cormocephalus dentipes, procured from Calcutta and its suburbs. In the intestine we have often found a coccidium belonging to the genus Adelina. Species of Adelina are on record from arthropod and annelid hosts; but since Schellack (1913) described in detail the life history of A. dimidiata from Scolopendra cingulata, no account of any other species from a myriapod has been given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
