Abstract
Chandlerella bushi n.sp., from a lymphatic vessel in the leg of one of seven adult American coots (Fulica americana) collected at Delta Marsh, Manitoba, is distinguished by the twisted distal end of the left spicule and by the length of the right spicule being about twice that of the left. Microfilariae of C. bushi occurred in the blood. Adult male and female Splendidofilaria caperata were also found in the coot infected with C. bushi, although microfilariae were not present in the reproductive tracts of females or in the host's blood. Microfilariae were not found in the blood of 27 adult coots collected near Brooks, Alberta, Canada. Apparently, no species of Splendidofilaria or Chandlerella have previously been identified from Gruiformes.
