Fourty-four stomach worms were detected from the vomituses of two cats, a 1-year-old mongrel femalc (cat No.1) and a 6-month-old mongrel female (cat No.2) and one dog, 3-month-old male cairn terrier, which were living in Suginami-ku and Nerima-ku, Tokyo. Morphological findings and mcasurements of intact worms were given in Figs. 1-12 and Table 1. From these findings, these were identified as adult Physaloptera pracputialis von Linstow, 1889. In Japan, P. Praeputialis detected from the dog is the first record and those from cats are the second case. No clinical signs were noted throughout the observation period in this study except for the vomiting observed transiently. Medication of parbendazole at 30 mg/kg of body weight for 2 or 3 days to these thress infected animals was seemed to be effective for adult P. praeputialis, since the vomiting of stomach worms disappeared after anthelminthic treatment, in contrast with the failure of piperazine phosphatc treatment.
