Abstract
Trypanosoma cotti Brumpt and Lebailly, 1904 is redescribed from Brumpt's blood slides prepared from the sea scorpion (Enophrys bubalis). Developmental stages occur in the intestine of the marine leech Calliobdella punctata, which acts as the vector. Division occurs only in the amastigote stage which subsequently changes into a sphaeromastigote and epimastigote forms. Yellow pigment granules characterize all developmental stages except slender epimastigotes. No metatrypanosomes were observed.Entities:
