The parasite is found attached to the underside of the abdomen of the host (Fig. 1), with the stalk of attachment fastened to the midline of the fourth or fifth abdominal segment, rarely on the third. As a rule, one parasite occurs on a single host, but instances of multiple infestation are not uncommon. Of 30 infested Callinectes, 18 bore one parasite, 7 had 2 para

By this time the host is dead or nearly so, and the parasite trans- forms to adult which mates and lays its Qgg on another victim. The long "sting" ou the body of the Long- taile

The young larva at once enters the body of the host and feeds upon its blood, not interfering with the principal tis- sues and organs, so that the host goes on growing and furnishing food to the parasite. Finally, however, the parasite so depletes the vitality of the host that it dies, though often not until it has transformed to a pupa. The parasitic larva then spins
