Abstract
Female P. phrynosoma (=Skriabinoptera phrynosoma). were expelled alive by their host, Phrvnosoma cornutum. Female worms contain embryonated eggs which in turn are enclosed in capsules consisting of 5 distinct membranes, with an average of 26 eggs to each capsule. Larvae remain motile within the dry female over a year. Two stages of larvae were described.
