In the course of general survey of internal structure of Tomocerus minutus TULLBERG, we observed frequently a kind of gregarine in the alimentary canal of this insect. Many trophozoids of the gregarine were found free in the space between the peritrophic membrane and the columnar epithelium of host's intestine. They are found in masses in the anterior part and sparsely in the posterior part of the mid-intestine. The gregarines are oval in form, being 120 μ long and 80 μ wide. By one perisarcal septum, the body is clearly divided into protomerite and deutomerite. But epimerite is lacking. The host materials were collected mainly in Fukushima City (Fukushima Pref.) in June, 1964, and pretreated with acetone for 4 to 10 sec, and fixed in Bouin's fluid. The serial sections were cut 4 to 8 μ thick in paraffin, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
