sterelmintha

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

1. The parenchymatous endoparasitic worms, having no intestinal canal. They formed one of two main divisions, the other being Cœlelmintha, into which the Entozoa were divided by Owen in 1843, corresponding to the parenchymatous intestinal worms or vers intestinaux parenchymataux of Cuvier. They are such as the cestoid and trematoid worms, or tapes and flukes.
