Abstract
1. The morphology of the infective larvae of Cardiofilaria nilesi and Pelecitus sp. in Mansonia crassipes is described in some detail, and sex differences have been noted in them.2. Infective larvae of C. nilesi can be distinguished from those of Wuchereria bancrofti by the form of the caudal papillae.3. A brief description is given of four unidentified larvae from other wild-caught mosquitoes in Ceylon.Keywords
