[Contribution to the study of Microphallidae travassos, 1920 (Trematoda). XXXI. On the shortening of microphallid life-cycles, concerning Maritrema oocysta (Lebour, 107)].
In France, the larval forms (daughter sporocysts, cercariae and metacercariae) of M. oocysta develop in Hydrobia ulvae Pennant living on Norman coasts of the Channel; they are described again. The microphallid family offers two kinds of development: the first sort concerns the appearance of a progenetic metacercaria, the second concerns that of a confined cercaria. Twelve examples illustrate the tendencies of this evolution.
