Abstract

The material upon which this study is based was collected in the states of Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and consisted entirely of avian parasites. The laboratory work was executed mainly at the Institut de Zoologie of the Université de Neuchâtel (Switzerland). We take this opportunity to thank Dr. Jean G. Baer for making available to us his material and working space.
Fourteen species have been identified, of which 7 are new: Strigea falconis Szidat, Diplostomum gavium (Guberlet), Strigea macroconophora n. sp., Diplostomum repandum n. sp., Apharyngostrigea cornu (Zeder), Mesoophorodiplostomum pricei (Krull), Apatemon gracilis (Rudolphi), Neodiplostomum buteonis n. sp., Cotylurus aquavis (Guberlet), Posthodiplostomum minimum, Cotylurus brevis n. sp. (MacCallum), Cotylurus medius n. sp., Uvulifer semicircumcisus n. sp., Uvulifer magnibursiger n. sp.
