Some preliminary observations on the mosquitocidal potential of Mesostoma sp. (Turbellaria: Typhloplaniidae).
Observations on the feeding and breeding behaviour of Mesostoma sp. from Delhi are presented. The species is comparable to the M. lingua (a species demonstrated to have high mosquitocidal potential) in predatory potential and may be playing an equally important role here.
