_Dracunculus medinensis_, Cobbold.--This parasite is popularly known as
the guinea-worm, or Medina-worm. Probably Lister was the first writer
who distinctly spoke of it as the Dracunculus, 1690, the same title
being applied to it by Kaempfer, 1694. Be that as it may, Gmelin, long
afterwards, placed the parasite in the genus _Filaria_, at the same
time adopting the specific title _medinensis_. This had been previously
employed by Linneus, who, however, regarded the worm as belonging to the
genus _Gordius_. It being clear from the distinctive characters of the
entozoon that it was desirable to separate it from the Filariæ, and that
no better generic name could be devised than _Dracunculus_, I thought
it right to combine Lister’s and Gmelin’s nomenclature as above, 1864.
Leuckart pursued a similar course, crediting Linneus with the titles.
