Two species of trypanosomatid flagellates: Critkidia flexonema from Gerris remigis at Ames, Iowa, and Leptomonas collosoma from Gerris dissortis at St. Paul, Minnesota, were isolated in pure culture and are described as new species. Blastocrithidia gerridis , which differs irorn bath of the new species in possessing an undulating membrane, failed to establish itself in culture.
