This species has been described from Lepidopus argyreus Cuv., Gadus morrhua, Aphanopus carbo, Scomber scomber, Lophius piscatorius, Trigla gurnardus, Cyclopterus lumpus, and many other fishes.

My specimens were sent me by Mr. Rosenberg, the naturalist, of Haverstock Hill, London ; they were found in the orbit- " entre craneo y cuero"-of an Asio brachyotus, shot at Tucuman in the Argentine Republic.

In the British Museum Catalogue the bird is registered under the name Asio accipitrinus. F i l a r i a p h y s a l u r a (Bremser). Menapetalonema physalurum Bremser. Molin, SB. Ak.
