ON DISTOMUM VIBEX LINTON, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ITS SYSTEMATIC POSITION

Abstract

Additions are made to the description of Distomum vibex Linton. Since Distomum is not a valid generic name, and since the species cannot be assigned to any known genus, the new genus Lintonium is erected to contain it. The genus belongs to the subfamily Fellodistominæ, Family Fellodistomidæ (Syn. Steringophoridæ).
