“…In North America, C. mutabile frequently occurs in the American coot, Fulica americana (Gm. ), and has been reported from at least two areas in Canada: Alberta (Colbo 1965) and Manitoba (this study); and from several localities in the United States: Iowa (Taft 1971), Florida (Lumsden and Zischke 1963 ;Kinsella 1973), California (Wootton 1964), and Nevada (Matthias 1963).…”

Miracidia of Cyclocoelum mutabile (Zeder), each containing a single redia, were infective to six species of snails: Helisoma trivolvis (Carpenter), Gyralus circumstriatus (Tyron), Promenetus exacuous (Say), Armiger crista (L.), Physa gyrina (Say), and Lymnaea elodes (Say). The miracidia partially penetrated the epithelial tissues of the snail and the rediae migrated into the snail tissues within an hour after attachment. Rediae were first observed in their final position on the dorsal surface of the head foot 1 week after exposure. Cercariae encyst as metacercariae in the tissues of the same snail between 2 and 3 weeks after exposure. Metacercariae were infective to coots, Fulica americana (Gm.), and mature worms were recovered from the air sacs 30 days after exposure.

“…The relationship between metraterm and cirrus-sac length in N. biomphalariae (70%) is similar to N. regis (68%), N. gallinulae (66%) and N. pacifera (70%), but differs from N. porzanae (90%). Furthermore, N. biomphalariae has larger eggs (22-26 lm) than N. gallinulae (22 lm), N. pacifera (21 lm) and N. porzanae (20 lm), but similar to those of N. regis (24 lm) (Dubois, 1951;El-Naffar & Khalifa, 1983;Harwood, 1939;Larios, 1943;Lumsden & Zischke, 1963;Odening, 1966).…”

“…biomphalariae is similar in the number of lateral glands (10-11) to N. pacifera, N. regis, N. porzanae and N. gallinulae but differs in the smaller (4) number of medial glands from N. regis (8-10), N. gallinulae (8), N. porzanae (6) and N. pacifera (4-5), and in the absence of tegumental spines (Harwood, 1939;Larios, 1943;Lumsden & Zischke, 1963;El-Naffar & Khalifa, 1983), although Odening (1966) observed the presence of small scales (''kleine SchÜ ppchen'') in an experimental immature specimen from N. pacifera.…”

A new species of Notocotylus was found parasiting a freshwater pulmonate snail, Biomphalaria peregrina. Naturally infected snails were collected from two temporary ponds in the Nahuel Huapí National Park in Patagonia. The characteristics of the larval stages are presented. Experimental adults were recovered from the intestinal caeca of ducks and chicks. Adults of Notocotylus biomphalariae n. sp. exhibit an aspinose tegument, two lateral rows of 11 ventral glands and a median row of four, a uterus with 12-16 coils of which 2-4 are previtelline, a metraterm equivalent in size to 65-68% of the cirrus-sac length, a previtelline field which extends to the middle of the body, a lobed testis and a genital pore closely posterior to the intestinal bifurcation. The rediae have one to three cercariae. The cercariae, when shed, are trioculate and have a long tail; they encyst in the environment and become infective 12 days after encystment.
