- ItemOpen AccessMermis sp. [Nematoda: Mermithidae] as a Parasite of Zonocerus variegatus linnaeus [Orthoptera: Pyrgo morphidae](Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ife, 1979) Matanmi, Babajide A.Mermis sp. (Nematoda: Mermithidae) was consistently encountered in dissected specimens of Zonocerus variegatus (Linnaeus) collected at random from the field in the Ile-Ife area of Nigeria.
