Abstract
An undescribed species of Enterobryus has been found growing within the hindgut of Oxidus gracilis (Koch),2 a cosmopolitan synanthropic milliped commonly inhabiting soil in greenhouse benches. A study was made of a collection of 0. gracilis that was supplied to me by Dr. Arthur A. Johnson who obtained them from an infested nursery in Cook County, Illinois. Previously I had attempted to find fungus infection in the same species of milliped in greenhouses on the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois, but without success. About 80% of the Cook County population that was dissected contained at least some thalli of the Enterobryus. The hosts were dissected according to the method I have published (Lichtwardt, 1954), and the fungus material was mounted on slides in lactophenol containing cotton blue.
